Presentation Transcript

  1. Fungi Chapter 31

  2. Fungal Structure Hyphae & mycelium Cells walls made of chitin Coenocytic or septate

  3. Roles of Fungi • External decomposers – exoenzymes • Saprobic • Parasitic • Mutualistic • Mycorrizhae

  4. Relationship with Humans Disease Medicine Cooking

  5. Asexual Reproduction Deuteromycetes Budding Mitotic production of spores Yeast, mold, most parasitic fungi can reproduce this way.

  6. Chytridiomycota Diverged earliest in fungal evolution May be paraphyletic with Zygomycota Mostly aquatic Has zoospores

  7. Zygomycota Example: bread mold, most mold on produce Reproduces sexually & asexually Forms zygosporangia

  8. Image removed – Fig. 31.12 on p. 614

  9. Glomeromycota Ecologically significant - mycorrizhae May have helped early plants Important to lumber industry

  10. Ascomycota • Examples include truffles, and the yeast used for bread & beer. • Can reproduce asexually using conidia. • Reproduces sexually using ascocarp.

  11. Image removed – Fig. 31.17 on p. 617

  12. Basidiomycota Examples include mushrooms, shelf fungi, rusts & smuts. Almost never reproduces asexually.

  13. Basidiomycota Reproduces sexually using a basidium.

  14. Image removed – Fig. 31.20 on p. 619

  15. Lichen Break down rocks into soil Often first life on new land Pollution indicators Crustose, fruticose, & foliose

  16. Lichen Image removed – Fig. 31.24 on p. 621. Actually millions of photosynthetic algae or cyanobacteria surrounded by fungal hyphae. Named as single organisms
