What is a fungus?
A eukaryotic, heterotrophic organism devoid of chlorophyll that obtains its nutrients by absorption, and reproduces by spores.
![Page 3: Introduction to Kingdom Fungi Pl P 421/521 General Mycology LECTURE 2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56649cac5503460f9496e7c4/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Modes of nutrition
Fungi=absorptive heterotrophs Animals=phagotrophic heterotroph Heterotroph (chemo-organotrophs):
an organism incapable of synthesizing carbohydrates from inorganic sources; requires preformed organic compounds produced by other organisms
Plants=autotrophs

Hyphae (singular, hypha)
Cylindrical, branching filaments composed of a tubular cell wall filled with cytoplasm and organelles
Most fungal hyphae are 2-10 m diameter

Fungal cell wall composition
Structural components: chitin microfibrils [ß(1-4)-linked polymer of
N-acetylglucosamine] chitosan in Zygomycota [ß(1-4)-linked
polymer of glucosamine] ß-linked glucans
Gel-like components: Mannoproteins (form matrix throughout
wall)
![Page 8: Introduction to Kingdom Fungi Pl P 421/521 General Mycology LECTURE 2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56649cac5503460f9496e7c4/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Other cell wall components
Antigenic glycoproteins, agglutinans, adhesions—on cell wall surface
Melanins—dark brown to black pigments (confer resistance to enzyme lysis, confer mechanical strength and protect cells from UV light, solar radiation and desiccation)
Plasma membrane—semi-permeable
![Page 9: Introduction to Kingdom Fungi Pl P 421/521 General Mycology LECTURE 2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56649cac5503460f9496e7c4/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Septa
Septa—regular cross-walls formed in hyphae. Hyphae with septa are septate, those lacking septa except to delimit reproductive structures and aging hyphae are called aseptate or coenocytic. primary septa are formed as a process of hyphal
extension and generally have a septal pore, which allows for cytoplasmic and organelle movement.
Secondary or adventitious septa are imperforate, formed to wall off ageing parts of the mycelium.

Fungal Reproduction
Many fungi have the ability to reproduce by asexual and sexual means
![Page 27: Introduction to Kingdom Fungi Pl P 421/521 General Mycology LECTURE 2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56649cac5503460f9496e7c4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Fungal reproduction
Anamorph= asexual stage Mitospore=spore formed via asexual
reproduction (mitosis), commonly called a conidium or sporangiospore
Teleomorph= sexual stage Meiospore=spore formed via sexual
reproduction (e.g., resulting from meiosis), type of spore varies by phylum
![Page 28: Introduction to Kingdom Fungi Pl P 421/521 General Mycology LECTURE 2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56649cac5503460f9496e7c4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Kingdom Fungi
Phyla: Chytridiomycota
Form motile spores called zoospores Meiosis occurs in resting sporangium
Glomeromycota Form spores containing hundreds of nuclei; no known sexual reproduction
Zygomycota Form asexual spores called sporangiospores Meiosis occurs in zygospore
Ascomycota (including Deuteromycetes) Form asexual spores called conidia Meiosis occurs in ascus
Basidiomycota Meiosis occurs in basidium
![Page 29: Introduction to Kingdom Fungi Pl P 421/521 General Mycology LECTURE 2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56649cac5503460f9496e7c4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Concept of fungal holomorph
Asexual and sexual reproduction may be separated in time and space
The holomorph is the entire fungus—including asexual and sexual stages if both are formed
![Page 30: Introduction to Kingdom Fungi Pl P 421/521 General Mycology LECTURE 2.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022081420/56649cac5503460f9496e7c4/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Fungal life cycles
The vegetative thallus predominates in the life cycle of a fungus
The thallus may be haploid (1n), dikaryotic (n+n) or diploid (2n) in different groups of fungi
Ploidy of thallus is determined by the timing of these events in the life cycle: Plasmogamy (cell fusion) Karyogamy (nuclear fusion) Meiosis (reduction division)
