in a thick resistant cell wall that stores nutrients and reproduce sexually in a favorable environment. They live in terrestrial habitats‚ in soil or on plants or animals and obtain nutrients from decaying organisms. When the vegetative part of the fungus absorbs nutrients‚ it reproduces asexually producing sporangiospores. Although zygomycota has a negative impact on food‚ it’s also used to ferment some foods. Ascomycota fungi are the yeasts used in baking‚ brewing‚ and wine fermentation‚ they

Paclitaxel (PTX) Paclitaxel (PTX)‚ a member of taxane family‚ it’s an effective antineoplastic agent for treatment of many forms cancer. The success of PTX in these diseases due to a broad spectrum of antitumor activity‚ efficacy in terms of dense disseminated tumours and a unique mechanism of action. This microtubule-stabilizing drug selectively disrupts the microtubule forces‚ which induces mitotic arrest that leads to cell death(Bernabeu et al. 2017). A brief run through of its development from

CHAPTER I Introduction Background of the Study A lot of our citizens are dependent on commercially available fungicides to control fungi growth at homes and businesses. However‚ most of these products are costly and contain dangerous chemicals that may harm human health and other organisms. The intention of this investigatory project is to manufacture an indigenous product that is effective‚ innocuous‚ and affordable to eradicate fungi‚ specifically bread molds. Mold is something that

Part III: Claviceps purpurea is the genus and species name of a toxic fungus that grows as a parasite on many grains‚ particularly rye. In rainy‚ wet weather‚ all plants become more vulnerable to fungi. Because rye also grows best in damp weather‚ it is particularly susceptible to fungal growth. When Claviceps spores germinate

Mushrooms As you walk through a forest or even your backyard you may take a glance towards the ground and see a mushroom. Have you ever wondered what may be causing it to grow? What it is made of etc.? Different mushrooms are made of different things‚ and different forms of growth allow their quickness abilities in growth. So what is a mushroom?

1. INTRODUCTION Here stated is the introduction for penicillin notatum which makes clear the reason for selecting this microorganism for this term paper .Species of Penicillium are ubiquitous saprobes‚ whose numerous conidia are easily distributed through the atmosphere and are common in soils. In soil analyses‚ using dilution plate techniques‚ Penicillium species are detected with high frequency (Domsch et al.‚ 1993). However‚ very little is known of interactions between Penicillium species and

Naturally Occuring Hazards: Aflatoxin Aflatoxin is a naturally occurring mycotoxin produced by three types of mold: Aspergillus flavus‚ Aspergillus parasiticus‚ and Asperilligus nomius (more rare). Aspergillus flavus is common and widespread in nature and is most often found when certain grains are grown under stressful conditions such as drought. The mold occurs in soil‚ decaying vegetation‚ hay‚ and grains undergoing microbiological deterioration and invades all types of organic substrates whenever
