Meanwhile‚ the diversity of bacteria and fungi in humans‚ the environment and wood could be observed. In addition‚ the four substrates are cultured in two media‚ MEA and NA‚ under the same condition. Thus‚ how nutrients affect the growth of bacteria and fungi could be achieved. During the

A fungus (/ˈfʌŋɡəs/; plural: fungi[3] or funguses[4]) is a member of a large group of eukaryoticorganisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds (British English: moulds)‚ as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom‚ Fungi‚ which is separate from plants‚ animals‚ protists and bacteria. One major difference is that fungal cells have cell walls that contain chitin‚ unlike the cell walls of plants and some protists‚ which contain cellulose‚ and

a good report on fungus - The kingdom of Fungi contains single-celled and multicellular organisms that absorb nutrients for food. Fungi‚ together with bacteria decay and decompose organic matter. Some fungi can be parasitic and cause serious diseases in plants and animals. Though considered an individual kingdom today‚ traditionally fungi were classified as plants with no stems‚ leaves‚ or chlorophyll. About 100‚000 species of fungi are known. Most fungi are made of protoplasm-containing tubes called

Bioluminescence in Fungi INTRODUCTION What is Bioluminescence? The current paper main focus is on bioluminescent Fungi but the basic features of bioluminescence discussed are common to all bioluminescent organisms. Bioluminescence is simply light created by living organisms. Probably the most commonly known example of bioluminescence by North Americans is the firefly‚ which lights its abdomen during its mating season to communicate with potential mates. This bioluminescent ability occurs in
