fungi reproduce ________ and _________

sexually and asexually

assexual reproduction involves

spores identical to parent



sexual reproduction involves

spores not identical to parent

all fungi are _____ and ______

eukaryotic; spore-bearing

organisms that feed on dead organic matter

saprobes

unicellular fungi

yeast

multicellular fungi with hyphae

molds

long, branched filaments that may have multiple nuclei

hyphae

thick mass of hyphae

mycelium

individual cells in the mold are separated by cross walls. rooms between each wall

septate fungi


(Penicillium chrysogenum)

there are no cross walls. no rooms between walls

nonseptate fungi


(Rhizopusstolonifer)

many nuclei in a common cytoplasm

coenocytic

causative agent of valley fever. they end up in dirt and dust from reproducing asexually

arthrospores

group of aquatic fungi with flagellated spores. parasitic. the genus and nickname

Chytridiomycota; chytrids

athlete's foot

Tinea pedis

ringworm of the head

Tinea capitis

ringworm of the body

Tinea corporis

jock itch

Tinea cruris

Ringworm of the nails

Tinea unguium

an essential sterol in fungal cytoplasmic membranes

ergosterol

blocks microtubule assembly, interferes with mitosis, and inhibits fungal reproduction. selectively binds to keratin (genus and species modifier)

griseofulvin; Penicillium griseofulvum

sexual reproduction in fungi (4 steps)

1)two haploid cells (mat a and mat alpha) join together


2) diploid cell is made


3) diploid cell splits into a 4 haploid spore mass


4) the 4 cell haploid mass splits into 4 individual spores

division of fungi that have mycorrhizae. mutualistic

Glomeromycota

fungi on roots of tree that are mutualistic

mycorrhizae

bread mold (relatives of this genus make sake, cortisone)

Rhizopus stolonifer

division of fungi that have coenocytic hyphae with septa only where reproductive cells are formed. asexual

zygomycota

what asexual sporangiospores form into

sporangium

this division of fungi includes sac fungi, have separate hyphae in mycelium, and examples of this are cup fungi and truffles

ascomycota

asexul reproduction in ascomycota leads to formation of _____

conidiospores

characteristic reproductive structure is a sac-like ascus

sac fungi

reproductive structure on which sexual spores are produced after hyphal fusion (gills)

basidium

this division of fungi includes Agaricus campestris and Amanita phalloide

basidiomycota

common mushroom that you buy at the grocery store

Agaricus campestris

called the destroying angle because they look like the common mushroom but are toxic

Amanita phalloides

this toxin in Amanitaphalloides destroys your GI tract

alpha-amantin

this toxin inAmanitaphalloides destroys your liver

phalloidin

reproduction in basidiomycota

1) basidiospore is released and germinate to produce mycelia.


2) hyphal fusion (mushrooms have opposite matching types)


3) production of basidiocarp (mushroom)

fungal disease

mycoses

five groups of mycoses

1) systemic


2) subcutaneous


3) cutaneous


4) superficial


5) opportunistic

fungal infection caused by spores implanted in puncture wounds

subcutaneous mycosis

fungal infections of hair, nails, and skin


use this enzyme to break down keratin

cutaneous mycosis


keratinase

fungal infections on hair shafts or skin surface

superficial mycosis

superficial fungi that infects hair shafts

Piedra hortae

fungi that affects host after immune system has been compromised

opportunistic mycosis

fungi that causes oral thrush

Candida albicans

causative agent of valley fever

Coccidioides immitis

_______ pop and release endospores in human lungs, cause inflammation and lung damage

spherules

what people get valley fever a lot

people who ride trains, archeologist, military field training

diagnostic tool that screens contact with Coccidioides

Coccidioidin skin test

what type of fungal disease is coccidioidomycosis (valley fever)

systemic mycosis

general name for fungal disease of the hair, skin, and nails

dermatophytoses

causative agent of dermatophytoses

Trichophyton, Microsporum, Epidermophyton

pathogenicity of dermatophytoses

dermatophytes


keratinase



invade keratinized structures

dermatophytes

symptoms of dermatophytoses

-itchy lesions which exude fluid when scratched leading behind a scaly ring


-hair loss, change of hair color

treatment of dermatophytoses

drying agents


Undecyclenic acid (Desenex)

-natural antifungal that comes from Streptomyces nodosus


-treats systemic fungal diseases


-toxic to kidneys


-make membranes excessively permeable

amphotericin

-synthetic antifungal that inhibits the synthesis of ergosterol


-possible carcinogenic



azole

azole in throat lozenges and creams

clotrimazole

azole in creams

miconazole

azole taken in pill form. Systemic

ketoconazole

azole taken in pill form. systemic and treats nail fungus

fluconazole
