  1. Kingdom Fungi Used to be thought they were plants Biology I – Mr. Fuentes

  2. Objectives • List the characteristics of fungi. • Recognize different types of fungi. • How they obtain nutrients. • Describe diseases caused by fungi. • Describe their importance in industry. • Fungi and food.

  3. What do you see? What is the significance?

  4. List the characteristics of fungi Do this in pairs.

  5. List the characteristics of fungi Eukaryotic, non photosynthetic, most are multicellular autotrophs.

  6. Different types Molds Yeasts

  7. Different types Molds Tangled mass of filaments. Multicellular hyphae. The dusty texture is caused by spores.

  8. Different types Yeasts • Unicellular fungi. • measuring 3–4 µm in diameter, although some yeasts can reach over 40 µm.

  9. Different nutrition types Absorb organic matter from their environment. Secrete digestive enzymes and absorb throw the cell wall. Most are saprophytic. What's the importance?

  10. Saprobes Entolomahochstetteri, the ‘blue toadstool’, widespread in New Zealand’s native forests.

  11. Parasites Ustilagomaydisisa pathogenic plant fungus that causes smut disease on maize.

  12. Predators Arthrobotrysconoidesparasite of the ringworm.

  13. Fungi causing diseases Allergies by mold spores. Infections on skin, hair, nails and tissues. Infections in internal organs by spores. Histoplasmosis. Poisonous mushrooms.

  14. Ringworm

  15. Athlete’s foot

  16. Candidiasis

  17. Fungi in industry Production of antibiotics like penicillin or cephalosporin, cortisone, ethanol and used in genetic engineering.

  18. Penicillium Rhizopus Cephalosporium Saccharomyces

  19. Fungi in food

  20. Saccharomyces Portabella Agaricus Truffles Shiitake

  21. Molds very close to us

  22. Interesting fact Out of 100,000 known species: 1,000 are plant pathogens. • 100 are human pathogens.
