Kingdom Fungi
• 100,000 species divided into 2 groups:– macroscopic fungi (mushrooms, puffballs, gill
fungi)– microscopic fungi (molds, yeasts)
• majority are unicellular or colonial, a few have cellular specialization
![Page 3: Survey of eucaryotic microbes Fungi Algae Protozoa Parasitic helminths (worms)](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102906/56649cac5503460f9496e6aa/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Roles of fungi
• decomposers of dead plants and animals
• sources of antibiotics
• used in making foods & in genetic studies
• adverse impact – food spoilage, mycoses, toxin production
![Page 4: Survey of eucaryotic microbes Fungi Algae Protozoa Parasitic helminths (worms)](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102906/56649cac5503460f9496e6aa/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
microscopic fungi
• exist in 2 morphologies1. yeast – unicellular, round ovoid shape,
asexual reproduction (budding or transverse division) – also can form pseudohyphae
2. Filamentous (“mold”) - hyphae – long filamentous fungi or molds; forms tangled mass=mycelium
• some exist in either form – dimorphic – characteristic of pathogens
![Page 5: Survey of eucaryotic microbes Fungi Algae Protozoa Parasitic helminths (worms)](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102906/56649cac5503460f9496e6aa/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
yeasts• Reproduces by budding
or transverse division (asexual)
• Can form pseudohyphae (chains)
• Some can also form spores (sexual repro)
• Example: Saccharomyces cerevisae (Brewer’s or baker’s yeast)

Conidia
• All form on top of stalk (conidiophore)• Arthrospores – septate hypha – fragments break off
• Chlamydospores – spherical, thickened hyphal cell Blastospore = bud
• Phialospore – buds from vase shaped phialide• Micro/macro conidium – small and large
versions of conidia, 1 and 2+celled, respectively.• Porospore – conidium that grows from pore
I. Asexual Reproduction
You do NOT have to memorize these types of conidia!

Kingdom Protista
• Algae – photosynthetic, plant-like
• Protozoa – nonphotosynthetic, animal-like
![Page 29: Survey of eucaryotic microbes Fungi Algae Protozoa Parasitic helminths (worms)](https://reader037.vdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022102906/56649cac5503460f9496e6aa/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Algae• photosynthetic organisms• contain chloroplasts with chlorophyll & other
pigments; cell wall; may or may not have flagella • kelps, seaweeds, euglenids, green algae, diatoms,
dinoflagellates, brown algae, & red seaweeds• microscopic forms are unicellular, colonial,
filamentous• macroscopic forms are colonial and multicellular• most are free-living in fresh and marine water
(you have seen examples off all of these in lab)
