Class Zygomycetes: Order Mucorales and Entomophthorales | Fungi | Biology

Coenocytic fungi which lack motile cells and produce zygospore as the sexual spore are placed under phylum Zygomycota. The zygospore typically results from the complete fusion of the two gametangia during gametangial copulation. These fungi reproduce asexually by means of aplanospores (also called sporangiospores, formed inside sporangia) or conidia. The phylum has two classes - Zygomycetes and Trichomycetes. The class [...]

Phylum Ascomycota: Class Saccharomycetes and Ascomycetes | Fungi | Biology

The phylum Ascomycota is divided into 6 classes, 18 sub-classes and 55 orders. The classes are based on the development of the ascomata, the structure of asci and the discharge of ascospores. The 6 classes are; Ascomycetes, Neolectomycetes, Pneumocystidomycetes, Saccharomycetes, Schizosaccharomycetes and Taphrinomycetes. We shall study only 2 classes - Saccharomycetes (which contains the genus Saccharomyces) and Ascomycetes (which contains [...]
