Conidia=conidiophores?
Penicillium is Ascomycete. Bread mold Rhizopus=Zygomycota.
yeast
Ascomycota; bud: unequal cytoplasm?
life_cycle
NO ALT of GEN (phytes no embryo). Zygote meiosis like
plasmodium.
REVU: germination from spores. Hyphae release pheromones mating types. Heterokaryotic: haploid nuclei.
Exercise
germination twice.
3
Zygomycota also germination twice.

Bread mold
Rhizopus; heterokaryotic looks like zygote (egg).
Pilobolus
stalk
swolls w sap explodes; light-sensitive.
mycorrhiza

Ascomycetes
Asco + Basidio = Dikarya. Carp=fruit (chap 30 word root)

- Saprobe: An organism that derives its nourishment from nonliving or decaying organic matter.
- Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Brewer's yeast: a by-product of brewing, dried and killed, and used as nutritional yeast (vegans and health buffs)
dried
at higher temperatures than baking yeast, rendering it inactive
Baker's yeast (Fleischmann's, Red Star), also used in fermentation of beer and wine.
Ale and Weiss yeasts: Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Lager yeast : S. pastorianus
- COD 273 acres
- zoa (zoo): animal (Greek)
- Zygomycota: Plasmogamy produces a sturdy structure called a zygosporangium, in which karyogamy and then meiosis occur.
- Neurospora crassa a bread mold: 2003 its entire genome was published.
Neosporin
antibiotic causes bacteria to produce defective proteins.
- Penicillin
discovered by Alexander Fleming 1928: juice killed bacteria. Mary Hunt of Dept of Agriculture lab in Peoria,
Illinois found cantaloupe in neighbor's trash.
