fungus is a member of a large group of eukaryotic organisms (Bryden‚ 2007).Fungi is considered important microorganisms‚ because of its beneficial role in human life; it has been used for many purposes such as in medicinal manufacturing‚ industries‚ food production‚ and plant nutrient supplements. Also it has role in cycling of carbon in the atmosphere‚ since it is main decomposers of organic matter (kavanagh‚ 2011). Fungi can be found naturally everywhere in the environment; in food‚ water‚ air

It is found in soil‚ water‚ plants‚ animals and humans; it can only be seen under a microscope. Antibiotics can help treat bacterial infections. Examples of bacterial infections are TB and MRSA. • Viruses live inside other living organisms. They can enter humans through the nose‚ mouth and breaks in the skin. Viruses

Fungi there are many different varieties of fungi‚ and we eat quite a few of them. Mushrooms are fungi‚ as is mould that forms the blue or green veins in some types of cheese. And yeast‚ another type of fungi‚ is a necessary ingredient to make most types of bread. 1.2 Fungi: - athletes foot. Virus: - AIDS Bacteria: - salmonella‚

unit 4222- 265 1 1.1: identify the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites. Bacteria are living things that are neither plants nor animals‚ but belong to a group all by themselves. They are very small--individually not more than one single cell--however there are normally millions of them together‚ for they can multiply really fast.Bacteria are prokaryotes (single cells that do not contain a nucleus). Every species has a great ability to produce offspring and its population

wanted to find out where in the environment bacteria and fungi can live. In order to do my study I had to collect a sample of soil and put it in a dish. After I did that I could look at it underneath a microscope. I found that bacteria did in fact live in the soil so the soil was a sustainable environment for the bacteria to live. Introduction: The problem that I investigated was where in the environment would certain bacteria and fungi be more common. The reason why I chose this topic is because

Sea Sponge Article The title of the article I was assigned to read in Marine Biology was called “This is your ancestor” by Jack McClintock and Richard Barnes‚ published in November 2004. This article is about tracing evolution in terms of seas sponges. A micro biologist named‚ Mitchell Sogen was tracing the DNA chain of animals to find the very first species that rooted off into all other animals including humans. “When micro biologist Mitchell Sogen decided to trace human evolution to its roots

Infection 1.1 Identify the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites. Bacteria are microbes with a single cell. There is no nucleus or membrane within bacteria‚ making its structure simpler than that of other organisms. Instead‚ the genetic information is contained in a single loop of DNA. Viruses are microscopic organisms consisting of genetic material surrounded by proteins‚ lipids‚ or glycoprotein coats. Fungi can be multicellular or single celled organisms. They can be found

plants. Ant wastes provide organic fertilizer. The majority of plant species have various kinds of fungi associated with their root systems in a kind of mutualistic symbiosis known as mycorrhiza. The fungi help the plants gain water and mineral nutrients from the soil‚ while the plant gives the fungi carbohydrates manufactured in photosynthesis. Some plants serve as homes for endophytic fungi that protect the plant from herbivores by producing toxins. The fungal endophyte‚ Neotyphodium coenophialum
