General characterized of fungi :
- Eukaryotic
- non photosynthetic "distinguished them from plant and algae "
- unicellular to filamentous .
- rigid cell wall .
- reproduce by sexual and asexual reproduction .
- most fungi prefer moist environment with humidity of 70% or more .
- can grow at (-6) to 50C with optimal temp for it is (20-35C) .
- most fungi grow well on acidic ph=5 or below &thus grow well on sabouraod agar
- fungi produce antibiotic example :
Penicillin produced from penicellium fungi .
- fungi can form symbiotic relationship ((mutually beneficial relationship )) example :
Lichens : fungi grow with algae .
Mycorrhizas : fungi grow among plant root .
Structure and function :

-mycelium (mold) : mass of hyphal elements .
- conidia (spore ) : aerial hyphae often produce asexual reproduction
* there are two type of conidia :-
1- macroconidia . 2- microconidia .
* When the conidia are enclosed in sac called ((endospore ))
Cell wall of fungi :

Cell wall rigid coposed of :
1-chitin . 2- mannans . 3- glucans . 4- protein .
*different between fungi and bacteria :
Defferance Fungi Bacteria

Cell wall Chitin – mannans –glucan Peptidoglycan
Protein
Cell membrane Sterol present Sterol absent
Cell type Eukaryotic Prokaryotic
* fungi morphology :
1- yeast . 2- mould . 3 – dimorphic .
1- yeast :
1-unicellular . 2- oval to round .
3- reproduce by budding . 4- pasty colonies
- most classified with ascomycetes .
2- mould :
1- multicellular . 2- hyphae spore .
3- cottony wooly granular .
+ cell joined in thread – like strand .
3- Dimorphic :
Capable growing in mould and yeast .
Classification of hyphae :
1- septate : hyphae with septa .
2- non septate "aseptate " : (coenocytic ) : Hyphae lacking septate .
* definition
- monokaryotic : compartment has single nuclei .
- Dikaryotic : compartment has two nucleus .
- heterokaryotic : dikaryotic or multinucleate has nuclei from genetically distinct
individuals .
- homokaryotic : hyphae has nuclei are genetically similar to one another .
* all fungi are heterotrophs((organism that require organic carbon source ))

* Do not chlorophyll .
* anamorph : asexual stage (( mitosis ))
* telemorph : sexual stage ((meiosis ))
* asexual spore :
1-conidiospore . 2- sporangiospore .
3- arthrospore . 4- chlamydospore .
5- budding .
* Example for asexual spore :

1- rhizopus species . 2- asperogillus species .
3- penicellium species .
* sexual spore :
1- zygospore . 2- ascospore .
3- basidiospore . 4- Oospore .
*sexual spore resistance to drying &heat &freezing .
*fungi taxonomic classification :

Depend on type of sexual spore
Sexual spore Class Hyphae
Zygospore Zygomycetes Coenocytic ( non Septate )
Basidiospore Basidiomycetes Septate
Ascospore Ascomycetes Septate
Non spore Deutromycetes Septate
Oospore Oomycetes Coenocytic ( non Septate )
* Kigdom of fungi :-
1- Zygomycota :: zygospore fungi
2- Ascomycota :: sac fungi
3- Basidiomycota :: club fungi
4- Deutetromycota :: imperfect fungi
5- Oomycota :: water molds
*Sexual Reproduction :- Hyphal nuclei are haploid , it include :-
1- Plasmogamy :- fusion of cytoplasm from hyphae of two " mating types " to
give heterokaryotic cell.
2- Karyogamy :- fusion of nuclei to give multinucleated diploid cell.
3- meiosis:- later give haploid spores .
* Spores : can formed in the sexual or asexual part of life cycle .
Zygomycota :-
-Zygote fungi ( bread molds )
- some are parasites & grow on stored food .
E.g :- Rhizopus spp (( black bread mold ))
- Zygomycosis caused by :-
1-Rhisopus spp
2-Absidia spp
3-Mucor spp
Ascomycota :-
-Sac fungi ( yeast , cup fungi and morels , and form sac- shape spores ))
- Body yeast or mycelium
-Decomposer and pathogens .
-Candidiasis ( yeast infection ) :- caused by candida albicans , found in Newborn
and AIDS , it also cause diaper rash
Basidiomycota :-
-Club fungi (( Mushrooms and puffballs ))
- spores are formed in club shaped .
Deuteromycota :-
- Imperfect Fungi
- Sexual reproductive is unknown .\
-there are beneficial (( penicillin form penicillium )) (( soy sauce and citric acid
from Aspergillus )) and Harmful (( Aspergillus toxic if inhaled )) .
-Aspergillus causes aspergillosis
* Classification of fungal diseases :-

- any fungal infections is mycosis .
There are 5 groups according the degree of tissue involvement :-
1- Systemic ( Endemic )
2-Subcutanous .
3-Cutanous .
4-Superficial .
5-Opprotunistic .
Systemic :- the infection deep in the body -
- include histoplasmosis & coccidioidomycosis . -
-
Systemic mycosis :- -
1- Histoplasma capsulatum : cause histoplasmosis . -
2-Blastomyces dermatitidis : cause blastomycosis . -
3- paracoccidioides brasiliensis : cause paracoccidiodomycosis -
4- coccidiodes immitis : cause coccidioidomycosis . -
5- Cryptococcus neoformans : cause meningitis in HIV and AIDS . -
Subcutanous :- the infection is beneath the skin . ( dermis , muscle , fascia )

- caused by saprophytic fungi , enter through puncture wound , example of disease is
sporotrichosis .
Subcutanous mycosis :-
1- sporothrix schenckii : cause sporotrichosis .
Cutaneous :- they infect only hair , nails , epidermis .

- dermatophytes produce enzyme gegrads keratin ( keratinase ) .
- can spread by contact .
-dermatophaytes include :- trichophyton , epidermophyton , microsporum .
Cutaneous mycosis :-
Ringworm and tinea : cause dermatophaytes .
Superficial :- localized along hair shafts and in superficial ( surface ) epidermal cell .
- prevalent in tropics ( hot and wet area )
Superficial mycosis :-
Exophiaala werneckii :cause Tinea nigra
Piedrai hortai : cause black piedra .
Trichosporum beigelii : cause white piedra .
Opprotunistic :- harmless in normal habitat but can become pathogen if given the "
opportunistic "
Opportunistic mycosis :- -
1- Candida albecans : cause candidiases
2- Aspergillus : cause aspergeillosis .
-Opportunistic mycosis seen in the people with :-
1- AIDS 2- Diabetes mellitus 3- malignancy . 4- immunosuppressive therapy
*Laboratory diagnosis of mycosis :-

- Direct microscope examination :- Gram stain , KOH , India Ink
-Cultures :- 1-Sabouraud dextrose agar (( favor fungi growth because of the low PH ))
2- Mycobiotic agar .
*Identification of yeast :-
1- Biochemical tests .
2- Behavior in broth and serum ( germ tube )
3- behavior in cornmeal agar ( pseudohyphae formation )
* Antifungal Agent :-
1- Azoles 2- Pyrimidine 3- Miscellaneous
