Additionally‚ stone objects may support novel communities of microorganisms that are active in biodeterioration process. This investigation focuses on mycological analyses of microbial

differentiate between bacteria‚ fungi and yeast‚ we plant four different microbes in plates under the same environment for one week and compare the growth of the four microbes by macroscopic and microscopic observation. 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

TOPIC: THE IMPORTANCE OF FUNGI IN; MEDICINE INDUSTRY THE ENVIRONMENT {DR OLASEINDE G.} INTRODUCTION Fungi are tremendously important to human society and the planet we live on. They provide fundamental products including foods‚ medicines‚ and enzymes important to industry. They are also the unsung heroes of nearly all terrestrial ecosystems‚ hidden from view but inseparable from the processes that sustain life on the planet.

Protist- a protest is a eukaryote that is not a member of the plant‚ animal‚ or fungi kingdom b. compare the updated classification of protists with the older one. Recently the protest kingdom has been divided into six major clades. These new found clades relate some of the protists to animals and fungi. 2.What are the four major ways protists can move? Provide an explanation for each. How

Do the yeast cells have a definite shape or is there considerable variation? Yeast cells seem to vary in shape‚ some look to be more oval and round‚ although. some slides did show pear and cylinder shapes. 2. Can you detect any subcellular structure? I cannot detect a clearly visible

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

DOLP- Fungi General Structure and Function: For many years‚ fungi were classified into the plantae kingdom because the two kingdoms seemed to be alike; but now‚ we know that they are all too different. In fact‚ the fungi kingdom is more closely related to the animalia kingdom. Some of the only notable similarities between the fungi and plantae kingdoms are that they are both made of eukaryotic cells‚ both immobile‚ both contain cell walls (although made of different material)‚ and both evolved
