  1. Kingdom Fungi Diversity of Life ~ Bio 20 Mrs. S. Pipke-Painchaud

  2. Curriculum Connections . . . • 2. Recognize the role of monera, protists, and fungi in the ecosystem. • 2.1 Describe viral structure and activity. 2.2 Identify some viral diseases prevalent in plants, animals, and humans in Saskatchewan. • 2.3 Discuss the various ways bacteria are classified. 2.4 Describe some diseases caused by bacteria which affect organisms living in Saskatchewan. 2.5 Identify some valuable roles played in the ecosystem by bacteria. 2.6 Distinguish between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. • 2.7 Describe how the protist kingdom is classified. 2.8 Collect, culture, and observe a variety of protists. • 2.9 Describe the general characteristics of fungi.2.10 Collect and observe some samples of fungi. 2.11 Identify the basic structural features of bacteria.

  3. Fungi Characteristics . . . • _____________________ • Heterotrophic (saprotrophic) • Some are ___________________ • Mostly terrestrial • ______________________________ • Most are multicellular • Except _________________ • Consist of hyphae (thread like structures) • Hyphae tangled together = mycelium • Cell walls of _____________________ • Reproduce asexually and sexually via spores that develop into hyphae • Info from BSCS 8th Edition

  4. Importance . . . • Key ________________ along with bacteria • Sources of antibiotics • Many cause plant diseases • Some form ___________________ relationships • Used to produce food: • ______________________ • Making alcohol • Producing drugs • Info from BSCS 8th Edition

  5. Examples • Mushrooms, molds, mildews, rusts, smuts

  6. Phylum Zygomycota: • Example: • Black Bread mold (can grow on grapes or strawberries, etc) • Some are parasitic (plant disease) • Most are decomposers • Characteristics: • No cross walls on hyphae • Reproduction by asexual spores and sexual conjugation to form _________________. • Info from BSCS 8th Edition

  7. Phylum Ascomycota: • Sac Fungi • Examples: • yeast, apple scab, powdery mildew, blue-green molds, • Morels, ___________________ • Chestnut blight and Dutch Elm Disease • _____________________ Fungus • Characteristics: • Cross walls divide hyphae • Reproduction: • Asexual: Conidiospores • Sexual: ___________________________ (produced in the asci – sac like structures) • Yeast: • ____________ celled • Essential in bread making and production of alcoholic beverages (i.e. beer and wine) • In anaerobic conditions, yeast breaks down sugar into carbon dioxide and ethyl alcohol. • i.e. bread rises, foam on beer • Info from BSCS 8th Edition

  8. Phylum Basidiomycota • Club Fungi • Examples: • Bracket fungi, smuts, rusts, jelly fungi, puffballs and stinkhorns • ___________________________ • Characteristics: • Hyphae divided by cross walls • Reproduction: • Sexual: Basidiospores (produced on the basidium) • Info from BSCS 8th Edition

  9. Phylum Deuteromycota • _________________________ Fungi • Examples: • Fusarium, alternadria, penicillium • Penicillium roquefortii = roquefort cheese • P. camembertii = camembert cheese • P. notatum = drug penicillin • Characteristics: • Cross walls divide hyphae • Reproduction: • Asexual: spores • Sexual: unknown (has not been observed) • Grouped for ______________________________ • Info from BSCS 8th Edition

  10. Mycorrhizal Fungi • A symbiotic relationship between _________________ and fungi • Fungi absorb soil nutrients and secrete an _____________ that makes the nutrients more available to the plant. ___________ produced in photosynthesis nourish the fungi. • Fungi absorb water and ________________ from other pathogens found in the soil. • Orchids and pines do not grow well if their mycorrihizal fungi are absent. • Increase __________ ___________ of the root

  11. Lichens • Is a _______________________ relationship between a fungus and algae or cyanobacterium • Looks like a mass of fungal hyphae but are filled with algae. • Secrete _____________ which breaks down bare rock (i.e. pioneer organisms); can also tolerate extreme conditions • Can completely dry out and become _______________________ until moisture is available. • Growth occurs when water is available (grows in spurts) • Lichens are good indicators of ______________________ because the toxins are concentrated in the cells. • i.e. radioactive waste has been measured in lichens. (biomagnification) • Example: • Reindeer Moss – found in the arctic
