  1. FUNGUS RELATIONSHIPSMohsin and Kaitlyn

  2. Mycorrhizae • Structures formed by roots of plants and hyphae of fungi • Help with absorption • Symbiotic relationship: products of photosynthesis in return for nutrients

  3. Lichen Symbiosis • Symbiotic relationship of a fungus + photosynthetic partner • Partner lives in fungus and exchanges nutrients • Bioindicator: lichen dies = air quality bad

  4. Molds • Grow in the form of hyphae, creates a network called mycelium • Visible mold is a result of mold colonies • Grow on dead, organic matter • Reproduce through spores

  5. Types of Molds Apprx. 400,000 types of molds, that can be separated into: • Allergenic Molds: effect only those allergic; mild effects such as sore throat • Pathogenic Molds: produce infection and serious health effects in people w/suppressed immune systems. • Toxigenic Molds: causes serious health effects in most from toxic effects such as cancer

  6. Use of Molds • Decompose organic materials • Penicillin from Penicillium • Ferment cheese • Produce microtoxins, lead to neurological problems • Cyclosporine from Tolypocladiuminflatum • Cholesterol-lowering drugs
