In this article we will discuss about the reproduction in Ascobolus. Asexual Reproduction in Ascobolus: It reproduces asexually by oidia (arthospore) or papulospore formation: Oidia (arthospores). Species like A. stercorarius, A. denudantus etc., produce oidia in chains on the vegetative mycelium (Fig. 4.45A) derived from an ascospore. These oidia on germination produce new mycelium, which again may develop into new [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Cell Structure of Saccharomyces 2. Vegetative Body of Saccharomyces 3. Reproduction 4. Life Cycle Patterns. Cell Structure of Saccharomyces: The genus Saccharomyces (Gr. Saccharon, sugar; mykes, fungus) consists of about 41 species. 5. cerevisiae, commonly known as Brewer yeast or Backer's yeast is used widely in wine and baking industry. It produces [...]
The upcoming discussion will update you about the difference between Ascomycotina and Basidiomycotina. Difference # Ascomycotina: 1. In ascomycotina primary mycelium is long-lived. 2. Dikaryotic phase is short-lived and dependent in ascomycotina. 3. In ascomycotina clamp connection is absent. 4. Dolipore-septum absent in ascomycotina. 5. In ascomycotina sex organs are well-developed in lower forms and gradually reduced in higher forms. [...]
