Fungus

The fungus Bipolaris sorokiniana has a wide host range and observed on cereals, barley, rice, rye, wheat etc. and many non-cereal grasses across the world (Jones 1983). Forty-five plant genera that include Asteraceae, Brassicaceae, Lineace and Solanaceae were reported to be prone to this pathogen including Poae, Asteraceae, Brassicaceae, Linaceae and Solanaceae (Harding 1979 ). 1.3.2.3. Symptoms of common root rot (CRR) Because of the difficulty to diagnose the disease as the above ground symptoms were not that obvious, this was remain unnoticed for long time. The major distinctive symptom of the common root rot is the dark brown discoloration of the sub crown internode portion of the root. This necrosis in extreme cases extends upwards…

Blastomycosis in Dogs Jaime Green Volunteer State Community College 15 April 2017 Blastomycosis, also known as North American Blastomycosis and Gilchrist’s Disease in humans, is a fungal infection caused by the organism Blastomyces Dermatitidis. This fungus occurs naturally in North America and infections are most often seen in geographic areas located near water, such as Ohio, Tennessee, Mississippi, and Missouri river basins. This systemic yeast like fungal infection occurs…

Bleeding Hydnellum, the Red-Juice Tooth, and the Devil’s Tooth. The fungus earns this name from the look of its fruiting body. The newly fruited mushroom body is a cream color with blood red secretions. Tooth-like projections emerge from the underside of the fungi’s cap. These teeth are slender, are less than five millimeters long, and are the structures that produce the spores on the fruiting body. When the fruiting bodies have matures they become tough, fibrous, and turn from a soft cream…

QUICK BITES Tea tree oil is a natural disinfectant, popular for treating toenail fungus. Baking soda can prevent fungus from growing and spreading. Trim and thin the nails to reduce pain. Toenails often get infected with fungus giving rise to a condition known as Paranoia or Onychomycosis. Prolonged dampness or moisture in the toenails - and poor hygienic conditions - are the main causative factors for this fungal infection. some effective home remedies for toenail fungus will be discussed…

The mushroom is the most common type of fungi. Fungus is a fascinating organism because it is neither a plant nor animal. In some instances it appears that it has characteristics from both. Most people use to think that mushrooms were close relatives to plants, however they are not producers. This simply means that they do not make their own food. They receive their nutrients from their surroundings. They are labeled as decomposers because they break down their food and return the nutrients to…

MYCORRHIZAE AND FORESTRY What is Mycorrhiza: Albert Bernard Frank (1885), in his study of relationships between soil microbes and plants, introduced the Greek term ‘mycorrhiza’, which means ‘fungus roots’. Mycorrhizas are highly evolved symbiotic association between roots of most higher/vascular plants and certain specialized soil fungi (Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes and Zygomyectes) that colonize the root cortex during periods of active plant growth both in the natural environment and in…

Research Paper Microbial Ecology of Grapes Grapes ecology is influenced by microorganisms consisting of fungi, yeasts, and bacteria which factor grapes' physical and biochemical characteristics. Some species depend on the grape ripening stage and on the availability of nutrients like yeasts and lactic bacteria, while others are only found inside the grapes, such as parasitic fungi and environmental bacteria (Barata et al. 2012). Similar to other plants grapes also have to deal with the two…

Today, I will be describing toxic black mold symptoms. Not all mold that appears to be dark or black is toxic. At times, the mold can be slimy and wet or dry when moisture isn't present. This mold grows at a slower rate than most other molds. Typical mold grows within 1-2 days, but toxic black mold colonizes up to 12 days. It is best to have the mold tested. This will identify if the fungus is Stachybotrys chartarum (toxic black mold). It has been tied to diseases as minor as hay fever, to…

1. Write a summary of the article using your own words. Lichens are evolutionarily deep symbioses of nature that are widespread and diversed. It is recently discovered that in addition to being composed of fungus and alga, as known by many, lichens are also composed of varying amounts and species of basidiomycete yeast. This discovery is made when Dr. Spribille and his colleagues analyze two species of lichen that are similar in genetics of fungus and alga but different in appearance,…
