8、owth and reproduction Three major groups of fungi are recognized:The molds are filamentous fungi.They are widespread in nature.Each filament grows mainly at the tip,by extension of the terminal cell.Molds A single filament is called a hypha(plural,hyphae).Hyphae usually grow together across a surfac

9、e and form compact tufts,collectively called a mycelium,which can be seen easily without a microscopeIn most cases,the vegetative cell of a fungal hypha contains more than one nucleus,often hundreds of nuclei are present.Even if a hypha has cross-walls,cytoplasmic movement is often not prevented,as

11、arts:the mycelium and the spores.A typical hypha is a nucleated tube containing cytoplasm.Usually there is extensive cytoplasmic movement within a hypha,generally in a direc-tion toward the hyphal tip,and the older portions of the hypha usually become vacuolated and virtually devoid of cytoplasm.Eac

12、h hypha is about 5-10 um wide.ReproductionAsexual spores are formed by the aerial mycelium of one organism.When these spores germinate,they become organisms that are genetically identical to the parent.Sexual spores result from the fusion of nuclei from two opposite mating strains of the same specie

13、s of fungus.Organisms that grow from sexual spores will have genetic characteristics of both parental strains.Asexual spores are produced by an individual fungus through mitosis and subsequent cell division;there is no fusion of the nuclei of cells.Several types of asexual spores are produced by fun

17、as a result of sexual reproduction.The latter occur from the fusion either of unicellular gametes or of specialized hyphae called gametangia.Alternatively,sexual spores can originate from the fusion of two haploid cells to yield a diploid cell,which then undergoes meiosis and mitosis to yield indivi

23、on the characteristics of the sexual spores and fruiting bodies present during the sexual stages of their life cycles.n The perfect life cycle of many fungi are yet unknown.They are placed in a special class of DeuteromycetesTypical species of filamentous fungiMucor(class Zygomycetes):occur in soil

24、and on fruits,vegetables and starchy foods.Some are used in the manufacture of cheeses.Their mycelium are nonseptate and are white or gray.Zygospores are produced when plus and minus strains are both present.No stolons or rhizoids.Rhizopus(class Zygomycetes):these are common bread molds,which cause

25、much food spoilage.They have nonseptate.It forms rootlike hyphae called rhizoid,as well as stolons.Zygospores are produced when plus and minus strains are both present.Neurospora(Class Ascomycetes):this genus is widely used in the study of genetics and metabolic pathways.Some species are responsible

26、 for food spoilage,and some species are used in industrial fermentations.Certain species produce ascospores,conidia is usually oval.Agaricus(Class Basidiomycetes):The best known species is A.campestris,the field mushroom and A.bisporus,the cultivated mushroom.Most of the larger species of Agaricus a

29、n.Penicillia have septate vegetative mycelium.1.Fungi usually grow better in an acidic pH(5.0),which is too acidic for the growth of most common bacteria.2.Most molds are aerobic,so they grow on surfaces rather than throughout a substrate.Yeasts are facultative anaerobes.Fungi differ from bacteria i

30、n certain environmental requirements and in the following nutritional characteristics:4.Fungi are capable of growing on substances with a very low moisture content,generally too low to support the growth of bacteria.3.Most fungi are more resistant to osmotic pressures than bacteria are;most fungi ar

31、e therefore able to grow in high sugar or salt concentrations.6.Fungi are capable of using complex carbohydrates,such as lignin(wood),that most bacteria cannot metabolize.5.Fungi require somewhat less nitrogen for growth than bacteria.4.4 yeastsn Morphological characteristics n Reproductionn Charact

35、omsFrom here an extensive mycelium forms following the fusion of two haploid mycelia to yield a cell containing two nuclei(a dikaryo-tic state);the latter is the beginn-ings of a fruiting body.4.5 Slime MoldsSlime molds have phenotypic similarity to both fungi and protozoa.Like fungi,slime molds und

36、ergo a life cycle and can produce spores.However,like protozoa,slime molds are motile and can move across a solid surface.From a phylogenetic perspective slime molds are more ancient than fungi and some protozoa,but more derived than flagellated protozoa and their evolutio-nary predecessors.The slim

37、e molds can be divided into two groups,the cellular slime molds and the acellular slime molds.For the cellular slime molds vegetative forms are composed of single amebalike cells.For acellular slime molds vegetative forms are masses of protoplasm of indefinite size and shape called plasmodia.Protozo

38、a are unicellular eukaryotic microorga-nisms that lack cell walls.They are generally colorless and motile.Protozoa are distinguished from prokaryotes by their eukaryotic nature and usually greater size,from algae by their lack of chlorophyll,from yeasts and other fungi by their motility and absence

39、of a cell wall,and from the slime molds by their lack of fruiting-body.4.6 protozoaProtozoa obtain food by ingesting other organ-isms or organic particles.Protozoa are found in a variety of freshwater and marine habitats;a large number are parasitic in other animals,including humans,and some are fou

41、ryotic microorganisms and lack cell walls.n Protozoans are mostly aerobic heterotrophs,although many intestinal protozoans are cap-able of anaerobic growth.n Some protozoa have one nucleus,but others have two or more nuclei.Typical species of protozoa EuglenaAmoebaParameiciumPlasmodiumAlgae are a la

42、rge group of eukaryotic organisms that contain chlorophyll and carry out oxygenic photosynthesis.Although most algae are of micr-oscopic size and hence are clearly microorganisms,a number of forms are macroscopic.Algae are either unicellular or colonial,the latter occurring as aggregates of cells.4.

47、phycoerythrin.Roles of Algae in Naturen Algae are an important part of any aquatic food chain,they fix carbon dioxide into org-anic molecules.n Seasonal changes in nutrients,light,and temperature cause fluctuations in algal po-pulations;periodic increases in numbers of algae are called blooms.REVIEW

48、 QUESTIONS:1.Some fungi can reproduce both sexually and asexually.What are the advantages and disadvantages of each?2.At present time those fungi that have no sexual reproduction cannot be classified with their sexually reproducing relatives.Why?Do you think this is likely to change in the future?3.The term mushrooming is a proverbial description for expanding rapidly.Why is this an accurate metaphor?4.How can algae be distinguished from the photosynthetic bacteria?5.How do protozoa move?Reproduce?
