Lichen concept

Algae and fungus must form a new morphological entity

Controvery around lichens

Ended when grown apart and the put together

How lichen interact within

Hyphae attached to surface of alage sometimes penetrate forming hyphae, division of algal cells leads to hyphal branching

Lichen cell combo

Resynthesize of lichens

Is very difficult and only seems to work when conditions are unfavorable for individual growth, sometimes requires bacterial signalling

Lichen uses

Breaks down rock, reindeer food, tweed, litmus paper, usnic acid

Specific lichen to know

Letharia vulpina: vulpinic acid, wolf poison

Lichen cortex

Outer thick layer of hyphae

Lichen Medulla

Fluffy middle

Lichen thallus

Sterile tissue

Three types of lichen

Crustose, foliose, fruticose

Foliose lichen

Lichen

Soredia

Spore like lichen cells spread in asexual reproduction through fragmentation

Lichen sexual reproduction

Spores released from pycnidia then reach trichogyne and ascogonium. Algae does not go with

2 major lichen photobionts

Trebouxia, nostoc

Endomycorrhizae

Arbuscules of endomycorrhizae

Vesicles of endomycorrhizae

Fungi involved in endomycorrhizae

Glomeromycota, obligate mutualists, fruiting bodies form underground

Orchid mycorrhizae

Specific to orchids, basidomycota, Rhizoctonia, parasitic on fungi for period

Ericaceous mycorrhizae

Heathers, rhododendrons, cranberry. Found in nutrient poor soils, hyphae fill 80% of root tissue. Nitrogen fixing

Non-photosynthetic plants

All vascular flowering plants, parasitic on other plants or fungi, all heterotrophic, 3000 species

Monotropa uniflora

3 Orders of zygomycetes

Mucorales: sprophytic, extensive mycelium


Entomopthorales: few mycelium formed, mostly insect parasites


Zoopagles: predacious fungi of amoebae, paramecia, and nematodes

Steps of mucorales sexual reproduction

Progametangia form, gametangia walled off at tips, gametangia fuse, nuclear fusion, wall form around nuclei forming zygospore. Zygospore undergoes meiosis and creates sporangiophore.

Zygospore

Evolution of asexual zygomycota state

Mortierella: simple sporagium


Mucor, Rhizopus: sporagium with many spores


Thamnidium: reduction is spore number, formation of sporangiola


Cunninghammela: no sporangia, sporangiola only contain one spore


Mycotypha: many sporangiola, densely covered


Entomophthora muscae

Zoosporic

Flagellated cells at some point, somatic phase walled

Two types of flagellum

Whiplash: simple strand, pushes


Tinsel: string like appendages, pulls

Phyla with flagellated cells

Chytridiomycota, hypochytridiomycota, oomycota,


Myxomycota, plasmodiophoromycota

Chytridiomycota flagella

Posterior whiplash flagellum

Hypochytridiomycota flagella

Single anterior tinsel flagella

Oomycota flagella

One whiplash one tinsel

Myxomycota flagella

Two equal posterior whiplash

Plasmodiophomycota

Two unequal whiplash flagella

3 orders of Chytridiomycetes

Chytridales


Blastocladiales


Monoblepharidales

Holocarpic

Entire thallus is a reproductive structure

Eucarpic

Reproductive structures are formed on certain portions of the thallus

Chytridales

Order of Chytridiomycetes


Largest order, most simple


Black wort of potato

Black wort of potato species

Synchytrium endobioticum

Synchytrium endobioticum

Frog chytrid species

Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis

Sporagia of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis

Joyce Longcore

Chytrid researcher

Blastocladiales

True mycelium, sexual reproduction by fusion, alternation of generations, form zoospores

Anisogamous

Two gametes within separate gametangia on same thallus

Allomyces

Family within blastocladiales that is anisogamous. Sirenin

Monoblepharidales

Most advanced chytridiomycetes


No economic importance


Motile male gamete fusion with non-motile female


Forms oospore

Hyphochytridiomycoya

Within kingdom Stramenopila, chitin or cellulose cell wall. Single anterior tinsel flagellum

Oogamous

Reproduction by mobile male and immobile female gametes

Oomycota clade

Stramenopila due to:


Glucans and cellulose cell wall


Diploid nuclei


Metabolic differences

Orders of Oomycetes

Saprolegniales


Peronosporales

Saprolegniales

Order of oomycetes


Water molds


Poor mycelium


Saprophyte


Multiple oospores in oogonium

Peronosporales

Developed mycelia


Mostly parasitic


Single oospore in oogonium

Disease on perch

Saprolegnia

Saprolegniales reproduction

Meiosis, atheridium makes contact with oogonium, gametangia formed, asexual zoospores released

Zoospore vs oospore

Zoospore is asexual motile spore with flagella


Oospore is fertilized female zygote with chitinous wall
