Except _________________
Consist of hyphae (thread like structures)
6.


7.
Some are ___________________
Hyphae tangled together = mycelium

______________________
Making alcohol
Producing drugs
Info
from BSCS 8th Edition
Examples

Mushrooms, molds, mildews, rusts, smuts
Phylum Zygomycota:

Example:
 Black
Bread mold (can grow on grapes or
strawberries, etc)
 Some are parasitic (plant disease)
 Most are decomposers

Characteristics:
 No
cross walls on hyphae
 Reproduction by asexual spores and sexual
conjugation to form _________________.
Info
from BSCS 8th Edition
Phylum Ascomycota:


Sac Fungi
Examples:





yeast, apple scab, powdery mildew, blue-green molds,
Morels, ___________________
Chestnut blight and Dutch Elm Disease
_____________________ Fungus
Characteristics:


Cross walls divide hyphae
Reproduction:



Asexual: Conidiospores
Sexual: ___________________________ (produced in the asci – sac like structures)
Yeast:


____________ celled
Essential in bread making and production of alcoholic beverages (i.e. beer and
wine)

In anaerobic conditions, yeast breaks down sugar into carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol.

i.e. bread rises, foam on beer
Info
from BSCS 8th Edition
Phylum Basidiomycota


Club Fungi
Examples:
 Bracket
fungi, smuts, rusts, jelly fungi, puffballs and
stinkhorns
 ___________________________

Characteristics:
 Hyphae
divided by cross walls
 Reproduction:

Sexual: Basidiospores (produced on the basidium)
Info
from BSCS 8th Edition
Phylum Deuteromycota


_________________________ Fungi
Examples:

Fusarium, alternadria, penicillium




Penicillium roquefortii = roquefort cheese
P. camembertii = camembert cheese
P. notatum = drug penicillin
Characteristics:


Cross walls divide hyphae
Reproduction:



Asexual: spores
Sexual: unknown (has not been observed)
Grouped for ______________________________
Info
from BSCS 8th Edition
Mycorrhizal Fungi

A symbiotic relationship between
_________________ and fungi
 Fungi
absorb soil nutrients and secrete an
_____________ that makes the nutrients more
available to the plant. ___________ produced in
photosynthesis nourish the fungi.
 Fungi absorb water and ________________ from
other pathogens found in the soil.
 Orchids and pines do not grow well if their
mycorrihizal fungi are absent.
 Increase __________ ___________ of the root
Lichens






Is a _______________________ relationship between a fungus and
algae or cyanobacterium
Looks like a mass of fungal hyphae but are filled with algae.
Secrete _____________ which breaks down bare rock (i.e. pioneer
organisms); can also tolerate extreme conditions
Can completely dry out and become _______________________
until moisture is available.
Growth occurs when water is available (grows in spurts)
Lichens are good indicators of ______________________ because
the toxins are concentrated in the cells.


i.e. radioactive waste has been measured in lichens. (biomagnification)
Example:

Reindeer Moss – found in the arctic
