Ascomystes • Spores are endogenous, i.e. produced inside special sacs called asci. • Hyphae are septated. Classification of EumycotaTrue fungi are grouped into five classes based on their method of reproduction, these classes are : • Oomycetes • Sexual gametangia are dissimilar, being distinguished into female gametangia or oogonia and male gametangia or antheridia. • Hyphae are coenocytic. Zygomycetes Sexual gametangia are similar Hyphae are coenocytic. • Deuteromycetes • (Imperfect fungi) • Its perfect stage or its mode of sexual reproduction is not yet known until now. • Hyphae are septated . • Basidiomycetes • Spores are exogenous, i.e. produced externally on basidia. • Hyphae are septated.
Non septated Hyphae of Aspergillus niger Septated Hyphae of Penicillium
Rhizopus Similar gametangia Endogenous Spores (Ascus)
Class: Zygomycetes • The hyphae are coenocytic ( non-septate) without cross walls except where the reproductive organs are cut. • The hyphae are filled or lined with continuous multinucleated protoplasm. • This class includes both parasitic and saprophytic species.
*It is a saprophytic fungus, which can grow on moist bread, stored fruits, vegetables, and synthetic nutritive media.*It is called bread mould since it is mostly seen growing on damp bread. Rhizopus ( Black bread mould ) عفن الخُبز الأسود Vegetative structure. • The mycelium consists of branched non-septatehyphae, which grow creeping upon the substratum and called stolons • Each stolon sends branched rhizoids to the substratum for absorption of the necessary food material. • Opposite to the rhizoids, clusters of erect aerial sporangiophores arise, each terminating with a single sporangium. • The hypha is full of multinucleated protoplasm.
