Coenocytic fungi which lack motile cells and produce zygospore as the sexual spore are placed under phylum Zygomycota. The zygospore typically results from the complete fusion of the two gametangia during gametangial copulation. These fungi reproduce asexually by means of aplanospores (also called sporangiospores, formed inside sporangia) or conidia. The phylum has two classes – […]
The phylum Ascomycota is divided into 6 classes, 18 sub-classes and 55 orders. The classes are based on the development of the ascomata, the structure of asci and the discharge of ascospores. The 6 classes are; Ascomycetes, Neolectomycetes, Pneumocystidomycetes, Saccharomycetes, Schizosaccharomycetes and Taphrinomycetes. We shall study only 2 classes – Saccharomycetes (which contains the genus […]
In this article we will discuss about how does fungi in class Ascomycetes reproduce. Learn about:- 1. Reproduction of Genus Uncinula 2. Reproduction of Genus Eurotium 3. Reproduction of Genus Eupenicillium 4. Reproduction of Genus Peziza. Reproduction of Genus Uncinula: Asexual Reproduction: Large number of short, erect, hyaline conidiophores arises from the mycelium and cut […]
