General
Characteristics of
True Fungi (Mycota or
Eumycota)

• All are eukaryotic


Possess membrane-bound nuclei
(containing chromosomes) and a
range of membrane-bound
cytoplasmic organelles (e.g.
mitochondria, vacuoles, endoplasmic
reticulum).
General
Characteristics of
True Fungi (Mycota or
Eumycota)

• Most are filamentous


• Composed of individual
microscopic filaments
called hyphae, which
exhibit apical growth and
which branch to form a
network of hyphae called
a mycelium.
General
Characteristics of
True Fungi (Mycota or
Eumycota)

• The mycelium is asexual


reproduction. It consists
of a web of hyphae,
branching or forking
thread-like structures.
• responsible for
absorbing nutrients
General Characteristics
of True Fungi (Mycota
or Eumycota)

•Some are unicellular


Like yeast
•Multicellular
General
Characteristics of
True Fungi (Mycota or
Eumycota)

• Protoplasm of a hypha or cell is


surrounded by a rigid wall.
• Chemical analysis of fungal walls
reveals a predominance of
polysaccharides. In most fungi the
polysaccharides represent well over
75 % of the dry weight of the
walls.Such as β-glucan, cellulose, and
chitin.
• Their function is to give the wall
mechanical rigidity and to maintain its
shape. R-Glucan: This polysaccharide
is a typical skeletal cell wall
constituent in most fungi. It is
composed of D glucose units mutually
linked by β-1 ,3- and β-1, 6-glucoside
bonds.
Structure
The wall components
• Oomycota : cellulosa; β- 1 ,3- and β-1, 6-glucoside bonds
• Chytridiomycota: chitin; glucan
• Zygomycota: Chitin; chitosan
• Ascomycota: Chitin; β- 1 ,3- and β-1, 6-glucoside bonds
• Basidiomycota: Chitin; β- 1 ,3- and β-1, 6-glucoside bonds

CELL WALL
The cell wall is composed of polysaccharides and proteins and the major
polysaccharide components are glucan, chitin and chitosan.

FUNCTION OF CELL WALL


• Shape of fungi
• Protect against osmotic lysis
• It the wall contains pigments (melanin) → protect the cell against
ultraviolet radiation or the lytic enzymes of other organisms
• It can have antigenic properties
.
Basidiospores: Sexual spores of fungi belonging to
the Basidiomycota
General Characteristics
of True Fungi (Mycota
or Eumycota)

• Many reproduce both sexually


and asexually
Sexual reproduction:
Reproduction involving karyogamy and
meiosis

Asexual reproduction:
Reproduction NOT involving karyogamy and
meiosis
.

Penicellium

Aspergillus asidus
Cladosporium Alternata
General Characteristics
of True Fungi (Mycota
or Eumycota)

• Achlorophyllous: Lacking
chlorophyll.
• Heterotroph
• Possess characteristic range of
storage compounds
e.g. trehalose, glycogen, sugar
alcohols and lipids.
• May be free-living or may form
intimate relationships with other
organisms
i.e. may be free-living, parasitic or
mutualistic (symbiotic).
Fungal Characteristics
1. All are eukaryotic

2. Most are filamentous

3. Some are unicellular


4. Protoplasm of a hypha or cell is surrounded by a rigid wall
5. Many reproduce both sexually and asexually
6. Their nuclei are typically haploid and hyphal compartments
are often multinucleate
7. All are achlorophyllous
8. All are chemoheterotrophic (chemo-organotrophic)
9. Possess characteristic range of storage compounds
10. May be free-living or may form intimate relationships with
other organisms

What is a mould?
• Fungi which from
mycelia are called mould
or filamentous fungi
• Filaments of fungi are
called hyphae
• Diameter is 2-10 µm
• Example: Rhizopus sp.
Aspergillus sp.,
Penicillium sp.

What is a mould?
• Fungal reproduction
• Anamorph= asexual stage:
vegetative spores
(Blastospores : formed by
Chlamydospores
budding, arthrospores
formed by segmentation of
hyphae, Chlamydospores
thick walled resting spores
e.g C. albicans, aerial
spores
• Teleomorph= sexual stage:
Ascospores, basidiospores,
zygospores

What is a mushroom/ cendawan?
Characterized by septae hyphae and the production of a basidium
following sexual reproduction. The basidia (pl. of basidium occur in
a mycelium callec a basidiocarp andy the produce external
basidiospore.

Fungal Nutrition
• ALL fungi are CHEMOHETEROTROPHIC (chemo-organotrophic) -
synthesising the organic compounds they need for growth and
energy from pre-existing organic sources in their environment,
using the energy from chemical reactions.
• Since their protoplasm is protected by a rigid wall, fungi must
obtain their nutrients by the process of ABSORPTION.
• SMALL MOLECULES (e.g. simple sugars, amino acids) in solution
can be absorbed directly across the fungal wall and plasma
membrane.
• LARGER, MORE COMPLEX MOLECULES (e.g. polymers such as
polysaccharides and proteins) must be first broken down into
smaller molecules, which can then be absorbed. This
degradation takes place outside the fungal cell or hypha and is
achieved by enzymes which are either released through or are
bound to the fungal wall. Because these enzymes act outside the
cell they are called EXTRACELLULAR ENZYMES.
• Since water is essential for the diffusion of extracellular
enzymes and nutrients across the fungal wall and plasma
membrane, actively growing fungi are usually restricted to
relatively moist (or humid) environments.

Oomycota”
• Hyphae aseptate; asexual reproduction
by formation of motile, biflagellate
zoospores in a sporangium;
• sexual reproduction by fusion of a
'male' sex organ
• (antheridium) with 'female' sex organ
(oogonium), leading to production of
• thick-walled resting spores (oospores).

Fig 31.5 Reproduction oomycota


Zygomycota

• Typically hyphae without


crosswalls (aseptate);
• sexual reproduction by fusion of
sex organs (gametangia) leading
to thick-walled resting spores
(zygospores);
• asexual reproduction by
cytoplasmic cleavage in a
sporangium, producing non-
motile spores.

Ascomycota
• Hyphae with cross-walls (septa) or yeasts;
• sexual reproduction by
• development of an ascus containing ascospores;
• asexual reproduction budding, fission, conidia
Ascomycota
Basidiomycota
• Hyphae (with dolipre septum) or yeasts; asexual spores rare in most groups;
• sexual reproduction by fusion of compatible hyphae, leading ultimately to
production of basidiospores on basidia, sometimes on or in a large fruiting
body (e.g. toadstool).

Importance of Fungi
Fungi are important because they are:
• agents of biodegradation and biodeterioration
• responsible for the majority of plant diseases and several diseases of
animals (including humans)
• used in industrial fermentation processes
• used in the commercial production of many biochemicals
• cultured commercially to provide us with a direct source of food
• used in bioremediation
• beneficial in agriculture, horticulture and forestry.

compounds
