Definition, Characteristics, Nutrition, Special Structures, Reproduction, Naming and Classification (Old and New) of Fungi
1. Fungi
Fungus, pl. Fungi Latin world
Sfungus meaning- mushroom
“eukaryotic, spore bearing,
achlorophyllous organism that generally
reproduce sexually and asexually, and
whose usually filamentous, branched
somatic structures are typically
surrounded by cell walls containing
chitin or cellulose or both of these
substances, together with many other
complex molecules.”
12. Nutrition in Fungi
Heterotrophic, Absorptive
A. Parasite
(i). Obligate parasites
Survive on living organism
Can not grown on culture media
Exp. Erysiphe, Albugo
(ii). Facultative saprophytes
Long time - living organism
Short time - dead organism
Exp. Helminthosporium, smut
13. (iii). Facultative parasites
Long time - dead organism
Short time - living organism
Exp. Pythium, Rhizoctonia
(2). Saprophytes
Food only from dead materials
Exp. Mucur, Aspergillus
(3). Symboints
Mutual relationship
Exp. Lichen
14. Reproduction in Fungi
A. Asexual reproduction
1. Fragmentation of the mycelium
2. Budding
3. Fission
4. By asexual spores
(i). Sporongiospore
(ii). Conidiospore
(iii). Arthospore or oidia
(iv). Chlamydospore
30. Method of Sexual Reproduction
1. Planogametic Copulation or Conjugation
(i). Isogamy
(ii). Anisogamy
(iii). Hetrogamy
(2). Gametangial contact or Gametangy
(3). Gametangial Copulation/
Gametangiogamy
(4). Spermatization
(5). Somatogamy or Pseudomixis

38. 1. Pythiaceae
1. Phytium
1. Saprophytic and some are pathogenic
2. Mycelium–Delicate, 5µm-10 µm
3. Shape of sporangia- hyphal or spherical
4. Oospore is colourless
39. 2. Phytophthora
Phyton + Phthora
(plant) (destruction)
1. Saprophytic but majority are pathogenic
2. Mycelium- Cocenocytic or aseptate
3. Formation of haustoria
4. Asexual reproduction – Zoopore
5. Sexual reproduction - Oospore
6. Sporangia are terminal but later on lateral
