The below mentioned article provides biology notes on lower fungi. They have comparatively a simple thallus which in some is unicellular and in others filamentous (mycelium). The septa usually remain suppressed in the actively growing vegetative mycelium. They reproduce asexually by sporangiospores (generally motile, rarely non-motile), rarely by conidia. The early mycologists placed the lower fungi in a single class [...]
In this article we will discuss about the life cycle of slime mold with the help of a suitable diagram. The life cycle of an endogenous slime mold such as Physarum starts with the germination of a meiospore under favourable conditions. One to four uninucleate haploid biflagellate swarm cells or myxamoebae are released through a slit or pore; the former [...]
The below mentioned article provides a biology note on the blastocladiales which chiefly occurs in stagnant water. The saprophytic members of this order occur chiefly in water which is often rather stagnant. Some saprophytic species are soil dwellers. This occurs in the wet soil. Some species are parasitic. They attack fungi and invertebrates such as insects, worms and rotifers. The [...]
