TOPIC: ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE OF FUNGI Before we discuss the economic importance of fungi let us have a brief study about what fungi really are. Fungi are multicellular, eukaryotic, non-chlorophyllous, living organisms which feed heterotrophically by absorption and have a cell wall made up of fungal cellulose and have a body made up of hyphae called mycelium. In this universe each and everything has its own economic advantages and disadvantages. Let us first study the advantages of…

occurring in living organisms including fungi and it may determine the type of reproduction, the morphology of the organism and the nutrients required. For any particular organism, the minimum and maximum temperatures are the lowest and highest at which growth occurs, and the optimum is that at which the growth rate is the greatest.Majority of fungi are mesophylls and grow at moderate temperature.These values are called cardinal values. Temperature range of different enzymes are specific and it…

Introduction: Bacteria and Fungi are important contributors of the living life. They however differ in their colony/ color/ size/shape/appearance. Bacteria are generally small in size but large in colonial structure, they are usually in the form of coccus, bacillus and spirillum, many times bacteria are of vivid colors because they have chlorophyll which also absorbs the light of different wavelengths which create natural colors of brown, pink, blue, orange and purple.

mycorrhizal fungi in new ecosystems Increased flourishing of the markets, world trade, tourism expansion, export and import as well as accidental introduction of new plant species along with their mycorrhizal fungi has an ability to act as a threat to the habitats and biodiversity (Wyatt et al., 2014). It may encourage ecosystem degradation at scales of varied sizes. Invasiveness of alien species may potentially impact the mycorrhizal community and structure and functions of the environment in…

The kingdom Fungi contains Basidiomycota or club fungi, which are also known as mushrooms. Fungi can be found in a variety of diverse environments, such as grassland areas, decaying logs, or with symbiotic relationships with the roots of specific trees. Mushrooms acquire food by breaking cellulose down to glucose. This natural process is used by fungi to produce glucose as a food source (technology, 2013). In the final stage of breaking cellulose down to glucose the enzyme cellobiase is used to…
