FUNGI Fungi (Singularsfungusjare =a kingdom = of, usually muicellular eukaryotic organisms that are heterotrephs (cannot _make ther own food) and have important roles in nutrient eyeing. in an ecosystem. Fungi reproduce both seumlly and asexually, and they abo have symbiotic associations with plums and. bacteria, However, they are also responsible for some diseases in plants and animals. Fungi are phiced in a separated Kinglom called. ibe kingdom fimgi. The study of fimgi é known as mycology. Peure: Fitngt CHARACTISTICS Fungi are not Plants. Fungi are Non-Photosynthetic, Eukaryotes, Fungi are Non-Motik, Most of the Fungi are saprobes (live on dead organism.) viv Pharmaceutical Microbiology>Fungi 2 > Absomplive heterotrophs (Digest food first & then absorb it into ‘their bodies) ® Rekase digestive enayme to break down organic material or their hast, Store food energy as Glycogen, Important decomposers & rccycles of nutrients in the cnvironment. Most of the Fungi are mulicellulir except unicellular yeast. Lack true roots, stems or leaves, ‘Cell walls are made of chitin (complex polysaccharide) Body & called the Thallus. ‘Grow as microscopic tubes or fikments called hyphae, Some Fungi are intemal or external parasites. A few fungi act like predators & capture prey like roundwoms. Some are edible, while others are poisonous. Produce both sexual & asexual spores. ‘Chssified by their sexual reproductive structures. Grow best in warm, moist environments. A Fungcide is achemical used to kill fimgi, Fungi Inchde puffballs, yeasts, mushrooms, smuts, usts, ringworm & mold, > The antbiotic penicillin is made by the penicillium mokd, ww vv ‘TPYES OF FUNGI Pharmaceutical Microbiology Fungi 3 SYSTEMIC CLASSIFICATON Chytridiomycota: Chytrds, the organisms found in Chytridiomycota, are usually: aquatic and microscopic. They are usually asexual, and produce 7 spores that move around using flagetla, small tail-tike appendages, The chytril Batrachoehytrinm dendrobatidis ean ‘eause a fingal infection in frogs by burrowing under their skin, and it has recenily devastated populations of harlequin tro killing off qwo-thirds of them in Central and Sowh America, Zygomycota: Zygomycetes. are mainly terrestrial andl feed off of plant detrius or decaying animal material. They abo ccause problems by growing on human food sources. One example of a zygonycie is Rhizopus stolonifer, a bread mold. ‘The hyphae of zyomycetes are not sepaniied by sepla, making their mycelia essentially one karge cell with many rmckei. They usually reproduce asexually, through. spores. Glomeromycota: Giomeromycetes. make up half of all figi found in soil and they offen form mycorthizae with plants; in fact, 80-90 percent of all kind pkmts develop mycomhiae with gmeromyccies. ‘The fimgi obiain sugars ffom the plant, and in return, dissolve minerals in the soil to provide the plunt with nutrients. These fimgi alo reproduce asexually Pharmaceutical Microbiology>Fungh 4 Ascomycota: Ascomycetes are offen pathogens of plinis and animal, inchding humans, in which they are responsible for infections lke athletes fool, ritgworm, and egotism, which eauses vomiting, convubions, halkwinations, and sometimes even death, However, some ascomycetes normally are found inside: humans, such as Candida albicans; a yeast which. lives in the respiratory, ‘gastroiniestinal, and fermmke reproductive tracts. Ascomycetes have reproductive sacs known as asci, which produce sexual ‘spores, but they also reproduce asexually, Basidiomycota: Like ascomycetes, basidiomyeetes abo produce sexual spores called basidiospores. in cells called basidia Basidia are usually club-shaped, and basidiomycetes. are ako known £2 | as club fing. Most basiliocytes reproduce sexually, Mushrooms ane m acommon example of basidiomycetes MORPHOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATIO! ¢ e-o-2> aS Filamentous fungi (mold): The majority of fingi form fitunentous stracture known as hyphae, These are nuikicellular structures with branching. Most of these hyphae extend in 3 dimensions through whatever they are growing in. Specialized hyphae are produced to allow vegetative (non-sexual) reproduction with spores or conidia, Some highly specialized reproductive or protective structures are abo formed by some species, such as ascosporic. There are probably millions of species in total Filamentous fimgi are fours! in most phybgenetic ‘groups, but the vast majority of human pathogens are Ascomycetes. Example: Apaphysomyces varlabilis, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus Pharmaceutical Microbiology>Fungi 5 ‘Yeast: Yeast are single-celled microorganisms that ate -chissified, abng with mokls and mushrooms, as members of the Kingdom Fungi Yeasts are evolitiontlly diverse and are therefore ‘classified into two separate phyla, Ascomycota or sac fingi and Basidiomycota or higher fungi, that together form the subkingdom Disarray. Budding yeast, abo referred to as “tue yeasts”, are members of the —phyhim = Ascomycota and the order Saccharomycetales. Such chssifications are based on characteristics ‘of the cell, ascosporic, ancl colony, as well as cellukr physiology. Yeast-like-Fungi: Yeust like grow partly as yeast & chnguted cel resembling hyphae.

Reproduction is a finwlammenial feature of all known life; each individual orginism exists as the result of reproduction. The known methods of reproduction are broadly grouped into two muin types: sexual and asexual Fungi also have 3 types of reproductions: > Vegetative > Asenal ® Sextal VEGETATIVE REPRODUCTION Vegtutive reproduction can occur by fagmentation, baking, fision, sebrotic and shiomomhs. Sclerotic: Sclertic are penetrating bodies made up of compact masses of hyphae. They grow under unfavorable conditions to produce new mycelia Pharmaceutical Microbiology>Fungi 6 Rhizomorphs: Rhizomorphs are rope fe twisted masses of fyphoe wih wel-defined apical sowing pokt Puss he ufivorble pernds in doorant sages but with the ones of faorable conditions seach shizomomph gve ree toa new mycelium, Vegetative reproduction can occur in various. wags = = Fragmentation: Hypo breaks ito pisces and cach pisce give rie 10 anew mycelium = «Fission: Common in yeast Co’ divide ito daughter cols, © Budding: Daughter buds appears fom porent cell This bud sepanties and firms anew onanism, ‘At tines. these buis fil wo separate and afer repeated bukling & fens paeudomycelium. yo Pharmaceutical Microbiology Fungi 7 © Oidia: Roni or ov! smetures having tin walk Produce yeast tke caled iin, Fach oifium on germination produces new mycelium.
