Thanks muchWhat characteristics hold these kingdoms together. Archae bacteria, protista, fungi, plantae, and animalia. ?
tut tut, you should do your homework by yourselfWhat characteristics hold these kingdoms together. Archae bacteria, protista, fungi, plantae, and animalia. ?
They basically all are living creatures than follow the rules that allow something to be considered living (getting energy, using energy, reacting to change, etc.)
its impossible
they were classified by kingdoms because they don't have any similar characteristics
is this a homework question?

What are some strange facts about Protists, Archaebacteria, Fungi, Plantae, and Eubacteria?
What are some strange facts about these kingdoms or the organisms in them?What are some strange facts about Protists, Archaebacteria, Fungi, Plantae, and Eubacteria?
I have always been partial to a fungus that infects ants. When this particular fungi reaches reproductive maturity, it sends a fairly large fruiting body out of the ant's thorax.What are some strange facts about Protists, Archaebacteria, Fungi, Plantae, and Eubacteria?
Sorry about the lack of a name, I just can't seem to remember what the fungus is called.

The mushrooms like chanterelles are classed as Basidiomycota because they have a basidia that bears spores.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basidia
The fungus spreads itself over a large area by growing hyphae through the food source and collecting nourishment. The hyphae are long linked cells that are so fine they are bundled in threads called mycelium. The mycelium are large enough to be visible.
Here are pages for fungal anatomy

How can fungi cause respiratory-tract infections?
Fungi can cause respiratory tract infections by being inhaled, and then the spores find themselves in a warm-moist environment, and start to grow. The dangerous part of most fungal infections is actually the body's immune response. Yes, the fungi can kill you, but the body's own deployment of cytokines (devastating chemicals to most bacteria, but not as effective on fungi), also harm your body tissue at high concentration and long term exposure. In the end, it is possible to kill you faster than the fungi. Many times in respiratory-tract infections, a granuloma is formed (the fungi is surrounded by tissue which prevents fungal spread). This can reduce lung capacity, flexibility, and cause many of the symptoms. There are many anti-fungals that are now available for treating these infections.How can fungi cause respiratory-tract infections?

Has anyone else out there had problems with scott fertilizers? like brown patch or funguses?
We have a lawn service business and last year we used all of scott fertilizers for our customers. some who have never had problems in the past had all kind of problems. some had brown patch, some had funguses come up, even grubb worms. do you think its the fertilizer? this year were going back to our regular fertilizer. now dont get me wrong i liked the scotts, i just didnt like all the problems! help!!!!!Has anyone else out there had problems with scott fertilizers? like brown patch or funguses?
my grandmother used that kind once and had the same problem its the scott fertilizer it just doesnt work well!Has anyone else out there had problems with scott fertilizers? like brown patch or funguses?
NO!! Fungi and grubs have NOTHING to do with the fertilizer used. They are totally separate issues and have to be dealt with separately. Grubs require and insecticide and fungi require a fungicide.
Fungi grow in warm, wet conditions. Whenever the humidity is high and it's warm, fungi can grow. Daconil is good for most lawn fungi.
Grubs need treatment with insecticide treatments in the spring and then again late summer. Beneficial nematodes that attack the grubs can be applied instead if your approach to lawn care is more natural.
The problems you're having are not unusual and occur whether you use Scotts or anyone else's fertilizers. In fact, they occur whether you fertilize or not.
If you're going to be in the business, you really need to know about pests and diseases. People expect you to know how to treat their lawns and they deserve for you to do it. Study up! lack of knowledge could cost you repeat customers and... your business.
no..
yeh, it really clears up mites, lice and crabs. just fill up your nasty drawers.
Fertilizer is food,brown patch is a disease,grubs are insects.I don't see any connection.Sounds like your customers are having a bad year because you don't know how to treat their yards properly.You can get disease,bugs or weeds any time whether you had them before or not.Watch for early signs this year and treat the problem accordingly.

How do u get rid of fungi around the mouth that makes ur lip swollen?
i got this rash aroun my mouth and i wen to the doctor and he said it could be yeast infection , its kind of spreading on my face and my lip is swollen. i cant open my mouth so i drink from straw i really need help so please let me know if u got a answer thanksHow do u get rid of fungi around the mouth that makes ur lip swollen?
I am the one you emailed about how I got rid of this when I had it, my email I sent to you came back to me. so I'll post it here for you to read. This is how I got mine to go away and what I thought mine was:
It took 3-4 weeks for it to go away, It was horrible. No doctor was able to help me. I was reading up online about it and it sounded like excema or perioral dermititis and it said to take tetracycline to treat perioral dermiititis and i had some , so I took that and put aquaphor on it for like a week and a half and then it finally started to go away. I think it could have been a allergy to viactiv multi vitamin chews, because I was taking them for about a week when the rash appeared, and after the rash went away, I tried taking them again , and after one week again, the rash started to come back, so I stopped taking them vitamins and it went away and stayed away. Good luck because its not fun. I feel for ya.How do u get rid of fungi around the mouth that makes ur lip swollen?

And he didn't give you anything for it? Well that is typical of western medicine.
Neem oil will fix you right up. However, keep in mind that neem oil is extremely bitter. You will not want it on your tongue. Also, to keep this from happening again and to speed things up, take neem leaf or neem bark capsules, milk thistle, and tumeric capsules, 1 each per day.
its called THRUSH
go to: http://www.medicinenet.com/thrush/articl鈥?/a>
and they have a lot of info. you will need to avoid foods that have ';yeast'; or are fermented, aged, distilled, etc. Mold feeds fungus. Everytime you eat these foods you are feeding your infection from the outside and the inside.
Also try going to vitamin shoppe and getting acidophilus- the chewable kind are tasty and help your good bacteria grow inside you.
so ah- have fun with all that-

Fungi questions Microbiology help needed?
What is landing on SDA plate that causes mold growth?
SDA is considered ';selective'; media because it grows molds and not bacteria. What makes the media selective?
Why do we have to stain penicillium or aspergillus?
Please help.Fungi questions Microbiology help needed?
The media is selective because you know that whatever grows on your plate is not bacteria. since the media is selective against bacteria, that must mean that it contains an antibiotic that bacteria is sensitive against and eukaryotes (mold/fungi) are resistant to.
i believe bacteria are sensitive to chloramphenicol, but i may be remembering incorrectly.
your media probably contains that.
penicillium and aspergillus are stained so that you can see them more clearly on your plate.

What is schizophora, mucor, and rhizopus with reference to fungi??????????
what basically they are? are they mode of nutrition either mode of reproduction??????? what they are?
plz tell me as soon as possibleWhat is schizophora, mucor, and rhizopus with reference to fungi??????????
I don't know what is schizophora in connection with fungi. But this what goes out:
Schizophora is a section of true flies containing 78 families, which are collectively referred to as muscoids, even though - technically - the term ';muscoid'; should be limited to flies in the superfamily Muscoidea;
It appears to be an insect in the picture (try to check wikipedia)
Mucor belongs to the kingdom fungi. they are through reproduction. Here's a definition:
Mucor is a genus of about 40 species of molds commonly found in soil and on plant surfaces, as well as in rotten vegetable matter.
While, Rhizopus is a mould fungus. a mould that causes decay such as the common bread mould. Rhizopus is a genus of molds that includes cosmopolitan filamentous fungi found in soil, decaying fruit and vegetables, animal feces, and old bread.
I'm not really sure if it's through nutrition but based on wiki it is produced both sexual and asexual spores.
Hope it helps.

What is a major differnece between organisms in kingdom fungi and organisms in kingdom plantae?
Fungi are hetertrophic eukaryotic organisms lacking true tissues and organs. They have tubular filaments with chitin in the cell walls. They exist mostly as haploid chromosome number except during sexual reproduction.
Plants are autotrophic eukaryotic organisms with true tissues and organs, have a life cycle in which a diploid phase alternates with a haploid phase.What is a major differnece between organisms in kingdom fungi and organisms in kingdom plantae?

2. lise 5 different uses for yeasts.
3. discuss 3 ways in which molds affect people.
4. explain why fungi are not divided into phyla according to basic shape.Need help on 4 questions in science about fungi?
Its late and i am tired so i will do my best to come up with some answers but because i am tired i will not look up answers.
Yeast cell is unicellular, mushroom is multicellular.
Yeast is used to make cheese, bread, beer, its been known to degrade tnt and other things, ethanol fuel.
Mould is eaten in cheese, it can make you sick (spores and the like), it can make you better by killing bacteria (penicillin)
because the basic shape is something that changes over the course of the life cycle, not to mention that some basic shapes are decieving.

How to ACQUIRE fungi on a tree?
I'm not gonna actually try but I wanna know...
A tree still intact or dead, I dont careHow to ACQUIRE fungi on a tree?
Well here in the Midwestern USA fungi start to appear on trees about the end of summer. Depending on the species of fungi, it will grow on standing dead, dying or live trees. Fungi are specific to the tree species. A good time to look for them is after storms. Especially cool damp mornings following a good rain.How to ACQUIRE fungi on a tree?
The meaning of your question is unclear. Do you mean how can you encourage a fungus to grow on a tree, or do you mean how can you extract fungus from a tree?
It depends on the species, some like to live on living plants ( parasitic) while others prefer the dead tree stumps etc ( saprophytic)....if you have a broken branch, cut in the trunk etc fungi can get in....I grew up on an orchard and when Dad did the pruning on large branches he would coat the end in a paint, which was an antifungal to stop infection)
some fungi get in thru leaves ( eg stomata) or just grow on the surface, while other species get into the stems and go thru the whole plant....most are surface only.
You can get fungal spores splashed or spread in the wind and land on the plant or in the soil....also can be spread by humans and other animals that may carry the spores on them and go on the tree.
As I said before, injuries to the plant may also allow fungal spores that are just ';waiting';toget in and start gorwing.

Where does most of the Fungi Kingdom recide? & is there anything I should know about Fungi?
What is your specific point? Fungi are almost everywhere in the planet. They need water and organic material to survive, since they are not plants and they don't perform photosynthesis. All the important things you should know about them, as a student of basic Biology, you can found at the site below. You can also ask your own questions there.
Does fungi grow better on fishpaste or peanutbutter?
Different types of fungi can be very specific about what they live on. Fish paste is likely too salty. If not to salty it might be to attractive to bacteria which would outcompete fungi. Funguses often produce antibiotics to try and kill off bacteria but many bacteria produce fugicides. Most fungi need sugars/starches/cellulose more than proteins.
Short answer is peanut butter is likely better depending on its preservatives content.
The best is likely bread or jam because the staches are fine for fungi on bread, and the high sugar content of jam inhibits bacteria but is not to severe for fungus.Does fungi grow better on fishpaste or peanutbutter?
It really depends on the fungus species. There are so many different types.Does fungi grow better on fishpaste or peanutbutter?
I agree that fishpaste is probably too salty if it is like anchovie paste.
Peanut butter will grow molds. They found a harmful mold on peanuts in the Philipines which peanut bitter was made from and made the school children sick.

I have a final exam coming up for biology. I chose fungi as my topic. What should i write about?
What should i write about?!?! It has to be a page in length.
I'M NOT DOING MAGIC MUSHROOMS, OR ANYTHING PSYCHEDELIC! BEER IS ALSO OUT OF THE QUESTION!!!I have a final exam coming up for biology. I chose fungi as my topic. What should i write about?
First, a short introductory paragraph explaining what are the Fungi, with examples of well-known species (such as mushrooms or molds).
Then, there are lots of interesting points that you can explore:
- How they belong to a different kingdom, not animal or plant, and the ways in which they differ from any other living beings.Although they may look like ';plants'; to us, they're probably more closely related to us animals.
- Fungi are saprotrophic, which means that they feed on dead organic matter - and they are absolutely essential for the biosphere for this reason. The cycle of matter on the planet could not be completed without them.
- They are able to survive in very hostile environments, colonizing new places and making them more adequate for other organisms.
- Fungi can be extremely large: http://www.scientificamerican.com/articl鈥?/a>
- Relationships with other living beings: some fungi are symbiotic, others are parasitic, etc.
- How we use them: as food for direct consumption and as part of food production (e.g. cheeses), for pest control (e.g. fungi that cause disease in pest insects), antibiotics, etc.
Here's some good basic information: http://www.microbiologybytes.com/introdu鈥?/a>

Good luck, hope this helps!I have a final exam coming up for biology. I chose fungi as my topic. What should i write about?
Members of fungi are distinct from plants, protoctistans, animals and bacteria as they are achlorophyllous eukaryotic multicellular organisms with absorptive heterotrophic nutrition. They along with prokaryotes (bacteria) are the decomposers of the biosphere. It has been estimated that the top 2 decimeters of fertile soil may contain nearly 5 metric tons of fungi and bacteria per hectare which add nutrients to the soil by decomposition of dead plants and animals.
They can never photosynthesize and are non-motile. They produce very large number of spores to maximize their chances of colonizing new food sources. For example, a single giant puffball can contain over 7 million spores. They are extremely resistant to adverse conditions such as drying out and some have been seen to thrive even in concentrated sulphuric acid.
The fungi are classified on the basis of morphology (kind of mycelium) and their mode of reproduction into various groups.
1.CHYTRIDIOMYCETES 2. ASCOMYCETES
3. ZYGOMYCETES
4. OOMYCETES
5. DEUTEROMYCETES
6. BASIODIOMYCETES
7. MYCOPHYCOMYCETES
For additional biology knowledge hit at http://bisbio.in
i'm not really smart and am stating the obvious but why dont you write about where fungi grows, how and why it spreads, effects it might have on people in any way (diseases?) effects it may have on the area surrounding it, who discovered it. that will probably cover probably a quater of a page i'me not too sure what else you could put.
How about the mutual symbiotic relationship between fungi and plants? These fungi are called mychorrizae and are essential to the uptake of water and nutrients for plants. You could discuss how numerous these are and how they help plants.

- Relationships with other living beings: some fungi are symbiotic, others are parasitic, etc.
- How we use them: as food for direct consumption and as part of food production (e.g. cheeses), for pest control (e.g. fungi that cause disease in pest insects), antibiotics, etc.

Good luck, hope this helps!I have a final exam coming up for biology. I chose fungi as my topic. What should i write about?
Members of fungi are distinct from plants, protoctistans, animals and bacteria as they are achlorophyllous eukaryotic multicellular organisms with absorptive heterotrophic nutrition. They along with prokaryotes (bacteria) are the decomposers of the biosphere. It has been estimated that the top 2 decimeters of fertile soil may contain nearly 5 metric tons of fungi and bacteria per hectare which add nutrients to the soil by decomposition of dead plants and animals.
They can never photosynthesize and are non-motile. They produce very large number of spores to maximize their chances of colonizing new food sources. For example, a single giant puffball can contain over 7 million spores. They are extremely resistant to adverse conditions such as drying out and some have been seen to thrive even in concentrated sulphuric acid.
The fungi are classified on the basis of morphology (kind of mycelium) and their mode of reproduction into various groups.
1.CHYTRIDIOMYCETES 2. ASCOMYCETES
3. ZYGOMYCETES
4. OOMYCETES
5. DEUTEROMYCETES
6. BASIODIOMYCETES
7. MYCOPHYCOMYCETES

i'm not really smart and am stating the obvious but why dont you write about where fungi grows, how and why it spreads, effects it might have on people in any way (diseases?) effects it may have on the area surrounding it, who discovered it. that will probably cover probably a quater of a page i'me not too sure what else you could put.
How about the mutual symbiotic relationship between fungi and plants? These fungi are called mychorrizae and are essential to the uptake of water and nutrients for plants. You could discuss how numerous these are and how they help plants.
What are the similarities of Fungi and viruses?
They both are microbes
They both can be pathogenic.
They both are very hard to cure, or impossible to cure, when infecting a human. There are very few medications available to treat either fungi or viral infections.
While viruses may be symbiotic, most fungi are not, there are some fungi that are symbiotic with bacteria or algae, like Lichens, but for the majority of fungi they are not.What are the similarities of Fungi and viruses?
theyre symbiotic?What are the similarities of Fungi and viruses?
Not much really, except some examples of both can cause disease...
Fungi are a kingdom of life (separate from plants, animals, etc.). They are multicellular, eukaryotic organisms that reproduce by spores.
Viruses are often not considered ';alive'; at all, but if they were they'd be an entire separate kingdom of their own. They are ';sub-cellular';, as they do not have cells, and they can only reproduce by invading and parasitising another cell.

What is created when fungi break down complex organic materials?
It depends upon what complex organic material. If it is a starch it will probably break it down into simple sugar and absorb the sugar through the cell and membrane. It will use the sugar in respiration and produce
ATP + water and carbon dioxide. Of course if the fungus is feeding on cellulose the process will be basically the same but it would need to secrete different enzymes to break cellulose down into simple sugars.

I have got fungi growing on my lawn is there any safe way of removing it?
if by 'fungi' you mean toadstools or mushrooms, then there is no reason to get all upset.... it's a natural thing where there is wood underground that is rotting and the ground is wet from rain..... just remove them so that kids and pets don't get into them.... a rake or a shovel or trowel is dandy... if no kiddies or pets around, a nine iron or putter is fine!!.... they'll go away when it's dry outside or the sun gets on them....
when they do pop up it's a sign there are good organisms and good work going on in your soil...

What role does beta glucanase play in fungi?
As secreted hydrolytic enzymes, -1,6-glucanases likely have a role in fungal nutrition by degrading glucan polymers in their environment. The soil fungus A. persicinum secretes an extracellular -1,6-glucanase that may participate synergistically with other enzymes in the degradation of an extracellular storage glucan synthesized by this species (Stasinopoulos and Seviour, 1989; Pitson et al., 1991). Mycoparasitic fungi secrete enzymes capable of degrading the cell walls of their hosts. -1,6-Glucanase secretion by T. harzianum is considered to be a component that acts synergistically with other hydrolytic enzymes in the mycoparasitism of that species.
VRWhat role does beta glucanase play in fungi?
beta glucanases degrade beta glucans which are an important component of plant and fungal cell walls. They are important for fungi to be able to break into plants and cause diseases, and are also important for attacks on fungi by bacteria etc.What role does beta glucanase play in fungi?
It participates in the breakdown of beta-1,4 glucosidic linkages affecting the cell walls of plants

Why does fungi lose mass when it gets bigger in diameter?
A fungus grows in diameter, but loses mass. Why is this?Why does fungi lose mass when it gets bigger in diameter?
A possible reason is that as the cup/head of the mushroom opens out increasing the diameter, the delicate gills inside, that have now been exposed, dry out. This would result in the loss of water and therefore mass.

Historically, all content management technologies covering anti-virus, url filtering and intrusion detection/prevention have relied on static defences based on database look-ups or signatures recognition. This type of defence has proven to be ineffective against new, unknown or unrecognised threats and attacks. One only has to think back to Code Red, Nimda, Sassa etc. to realise this fact. It does not matter how quickly the vendors can come out with a fix, it only takes1 hour for a new virus to circle the globe many times.
There is now a new defence mechanism which is pro-active and defends against first-strike threats - PureSight is one of the first of its鈥?generation. These technologies use heuristics and behavioural analysis to identify what a piece of code may attempt or web page may contain. For instance, if code is attempting to open a port, read/write to a hard disk, change registry settings etc. then one can assume it is malicious and should be stopped. If a page has a high proportion of graphic images, lots of animation, data capture fields, pop-up鈥檚 etc. it is unlikely to be a business site.
The issue with these types of technologies, which have been around for a number of years, has always been the perception that they do not scale. These issues have been overcome 鈥揚ureSight scans, analyses and classifies any given web page in between 4 nanoseconds %26amp; 1 millisecond. They are now serious competition to traditional methods.
Perceived wisdom in the market is that behavioural-based analysis will eventually replace database-driven solutions because:
1.For viruses they can stop first strike attacks
2.For web sites can classify any site in any language without prior knowledge
3.Can be purchased outright rather than subscription based, so your customers are not buying the product again every year

go to a pharmacy, ask a chemist for a fungi med., they're quite good in consulting.
Soak your toes in vinegar or acidic medium (which is not too acidic that it would burn through your toes).... the pH value of the vinegar would dysfunctionalise the fungus as they cannot work at a certain pH... so they will eventually die... so you can soak or apply on for about 10 - 15mins a night and remember to wash it off!

Why does fungi grow on wet bread, but not a bag of cereal that is left open?
Please explainWhy does fungi grow on wet bread, but not a bag of cereal that is left open?
Well, mold usually grows on things that are moist or wet, which explains why the bread grows mold. The cereal may not grow mold when left out in the open due to the preservatives in the cereal.Why does fungi grow on wet bread, but not a bag of cereal that is left open?
Fungi, like any other type of plant, needs moisture to grow. The dry cereal doesn't provide enough moisture to stimulate cell growth, so fungi won't grow on the cereal, but will on the nice, wet bread.antivirus download

What are the four main groups of fungi and a characteristic for each?
Another way to classify fungi is according to their properties. Here you find the four(!) main groups:
mycorrhizal fungi ( live symbiotic with the roots of legume family plants e.g. see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mycorrhiza ),
saprophytic/saprotrophic fungi ( decompose dead organic material like fallen leaves and fruits f.e.see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saprotroph )
parasitic fungi ( live from other plants eating their nutrients, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Pa鈥?/a> )
pathogenic fungi ( cause pests in plants, animals and humans, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pathogenic_鈥?/a> )What are the four main groups of fungi and a characteristic for each?
fungi ae classified based on their sexual reproductive strutures.Currently there are 5 divisions.
1.The Chytridiomycota are commonly known as Chytrids.These fungi reproduce asexually.
2.The zygomycota are known as zygomycetes and repoduce sexually.(black bread mold,Rhizopus is a common species.
3.The glomeromycota are also known as the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.
4.The ascomycota,commonly known as sac fungi or ascomycetes.Yeast belong to this group.
5.Basidiomycota, commonly known as the dub fungi.Most common mushrooms belong to this group as well as rust and smut fungi.

How many sexes do mushrooms (or fungi in general) have?
a friend of mine told me mushroom or fungi i cant remeber which ( i know mushroom is a fungus) unlike humans and most other animals have thousands of different sexes.How many sexes do mushrooms (or fungi in general) have?
As far as I know, fungi have only two sexes, as do all other ';plants'; ( I know they belong to a separate kingdom, but they still have two mating types). The hyphae (underground part of the fungus) are haploid (one set of chromosomes, as in all gametes, like our eggs and sperm). When the two mating types fuse, they form a diploid (2 sets of chromosomes) zygote that can go on to produce spores for asexual reproduction.How many sexes do mushrooms (or fungi in general) have?
I have NEVER heard that in Biology class.
The members of the kingdom fungi reproduce differently depending on their situation. Most fungi produce billions of spores. When these spores are released, one has to find the proper temperature, moisture, and light level to grow into a mature organism.
The fact that most fungi reproduce by spores means that they reproduce by themselves, which means they are asexual, which means they do not have thousands of different sexes.
You also have to consider WHY an organism would have thousands of different sexes. It wouldn't aid in their survival AT ALL.
For example, some plants produce pollen. When this pollen is carried off by the wind, it has a 50 % chance of finding a female and reproducing. If there were a thousand different sexes, there'd theoretically be a 1/1000 chance of it finding the right gender.

And with toads, there are multiple genera, but most typical toads are in the genus Bufo.
Why are antibiotics frequently added to Sabouraud agar for isolation of fungi from clinical samples?
Most fungi are slow growing, at least compared with bacteria. If antibiotics weren't added to the agar, you'd come back the next day to a plate full of bacteria, and not the fungus that you were looking to culture.antivirus download
Fungi is used to be classified as plants, why are they now classified in a separate kingdom?
First classified as plants, fungi are now considered different enough from plants to be placed in a separate kingdom, and in fact are more like animals than plants.
http://www.fungi.euFungi is used to be classified as plants, why are they now classified in a separate kingdom?
Fungi were classified as plants because they had cell walls and formed spores similar to those formed by plants. Further investigation showed that fungi secrete exoenzmyes and absorb nutrients from pre-formed organic molecules, thus are heterotrophic rather than autotrophic like plants. The cell walls are of chitin rather than cellulose found in the cell walls of plants.

What are the similarities and differences of the cells of plants,fungi and animals?
When you take molecualr biology, you learn about the processes in eukaryotes, and prokaryotes. And even between those two domains, most things are pretty much the same. Fungi, plants and animals are all eukaryotes, so on a molecular biology level, they are pretty much the same. Plants photosynthesize, which the others don't, but that's about it when it comes to molecular biology.What are the similarities and differences of the cells of plants,fungi and animals?
Plant Cell:
-------------
* A large central vacuole (enclosed by a membrane, the tonoplast), which maintains the cell's turgor and controls movement of molecules between the cytosol and sap.
* A cell wall made up of cellulose and protein, and in many cases lignin, and deposited by the protoplast on the outside of the cell membrane. This contrasts with the cell walls of fungi, which are made of chitin, and prokaryotes, which are made of peptidoglycan.
* The plasmodesmata, linking pores in the cell wall that allow each plant cell to communicate with other adjacent cells. This is different from the network of hyphae used by fungi.
* Plastids, especially chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll, the pigment that gives plants their green color and allows them to perform photosynthesis.
* Plants lack centrioles that are present in animal cells.
----------------------
Animal Cell:
The animal cell is distinct from other eukaryotes, most notably plant cells, as they lack cell walls and chloroplasts, and they have smaller vacuoles.

What categorizes Yeast into the Fungi Kingdom?
I am really clueless....What categorizes Yeast into the Fungi Kingdom?
it is alive.
it grows well in darkness.
it requires moisture.What categorizes Yeast into the Fungi Kingdom?
Yeast are eukaryotes because they have membrane-bound nuclei - therefore, they are not bacteria and don't belong in Monera. They have cell walls (not found in animals or protozoans) that are made of chitin (which distinguishes them from plants). The only remaining kingdom is fungi.
More important than these morphological distinctions is the fact that phylogenetic studies - comparisons of genome sequence between organisms of many species in order to identify evolutionary relationships - place yeast squarely in Kingdom Mycota.

First understand what it means to be a heterotroph (hetero=others, troph=eat [loose translation]). Plants are phototrophs, they get their energy from light. There are types of bacteria that can generate their own sustinance from inorganic molecules, thus are called chemotrophs. Fungi and humans have to digest organic molecules (i.e. carbon-containing molecules), usually in the form of pre-existing phototrophs and chemotrophs.

What kind of bacteria/ fungi are found in the heart?
Normally none. You do get transient bacteria in the bloodstream, but they are removed by the immune system.What kind of bacteria/ fungi are found in the heart?
you should have none - however when you brush your teeth bacteria can enter the blood stream due to the abrasion on the brush against your gums. Or you can get an infection through a break in the skin. The majority of the time the body finds the infection and kills it and the blood (and heart) is normally sterile. However you can get what is known as bacterial endocarditis (bacterial infection of the heart). One of the most common bacteria responsible for this is enterococcus faecalis.

The Basidiomycetes contain a most useful group of fungi. What food stuff comes from this group of fungi?
All the gill mushrooms--the true mushrooms--are basidiomycetes, so the white button/field mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, portabellas, chanterelles, and wood or honey mushrooms (matsutake) are all examples of basidios. Pretty much all your commercially available fungi, except truffles and morels, are basidiomycetes. And if you get into mycorrhizal associations, they're even more useful in foodstuff production.The Basidiomycetes contain a most useful group of fungi. What food stuff comes from this group of fungi?

How to make my bed free of Bacteria, Fungi and Dust Mites ?
While you can probably keep your bed free of dust mites by proper and regular cleaning, you cannot make your bed free of fungi and bacteria. There are fungal spores in the air - however, they usually won't start growing on your bed unless it tends to be damp (stop peeing in bed!). As for bacteria, there will always be bacteria on it especially since there are bacteria that normally inhabit your skin.How to make my bed free of Bacteria, Fungi and Dust Mites ?

A type of fungi that is harmful to man because it can damage crops is?

D.a sporeA type of fungi that is harmful to man because it can damage crops is?
The secret to solving multiple choice questions is to study all of the choices, even the wrong ones, discover why they are wrong, and rule them out until there is only one left. You need to define each one. A spore is just the equivalent of a seed in an angiosperm. It carries genetic material for the fungi to reproduce itself so it can't be that. A mushroom will consume a cellulose product such as grass or wood but that one seems pretty close compared to the others. A yeast is a specific kind of fungi that develops in bread. Bread is not a crop. I agree with the person that said smut because I can't rule it out.

Why are fungi good indicators of pollution?
No, fungi are not good indicators of pollution, but lichen does.Why are fungi good indicators of pollution?
Because lichens, mosses, ect. lack roots, they must obtain all their nutrients from rainwater. Lichens and many mosses lack protective surfaces that can selectively block out elements including pollutants that are dissolved in rainwater. Instead, they act like sponges, absorbing everything. Since it is known that different species (especially lichens) vary in sensitivity to air pollution, scientists can use these organisms as monitors of air pollution and as indicators of air quality.

Unfortunately, this condition can last for several months and will go away on its own. However, since it's been 5 months, I think that you may want to give a call to your doctor to inform him of this, just for a peace of mind and to keep him updated on its progress.
As far as the itching, you can use lukewarm water with a non-perfumed soap (Dial or Ivory soap); oatmeal baths may be of use as well. Also take things such as Benadryl or topical anti-itch cream such as calamine lotion.. Also, keep the area where you are cool as heat tends to exacerbate the itching. If this doesn't help, then steroid creams may be prescribed.

What substance can some types of fungi produce that is effective against some disease causing organisms?
For VCE BiologyWhat substance can some types of fungi produce that is effective against some disease causing organisms?
Antibiotics as Penicillium; a fungus produces the antibiotic penicillinWhat substance can some types of fungi produce that is effective against some disease causing organisms?
In 1941, penicillin from the fungus Penicillium chrysogenum was first used successfully to treat an infection caused by a bacterium. Use of penicilin revolutionised the treatment of pathogenic disease. Many formally fatal diseases caused by bacteria became treatable.
Cephalosporins also contain the beta lactam ring. The original fungus found to produce the compounds was a Cephalosporium, hence the name. As with penicillin, the cephalosporin antibiotics have a number of disadvantages. Industrial modification of the active ingredients has reduced these problems.
The only broadly useful antifungal agent from fungi is griseofulvin. The original source was Penicillium griseofulvin. Griseofulvin is fungistatic, rather than fungicidal. It is used for the treatment of dermatophytes, as it accumulates in the hair and skin following topical application

What is mould / fungi is growing in my pan?

The food left in the pan was pasta, tomato pasta sauce, and maybe some vegetables.What is mould / fungi is growing in my pan?
Maybe this will help:
';There are many different kinds of molds or ';filamentous fungi'; and it really takes an expert to be able to identify all of them to the species level. On the other hand, if you just want a scientific name (a correct one at that) for molds you may find around your house, that is a little easier. A few fungi account for most of the ones you see normally.
Greenish-bluish ones are probably either from the genus Penicillium if the colony has a white border around it, or Aspergillus if it doesn't have a white border around the colony. A black-looking colony is probably in the genus Rhizopus (commonly called ';bread mold'; although it is not the only fungus which grows on bread and it also grows other places besides bread) or Neurospora.
To aid in your identification (and see some neat stuff) a microscope
helps. It doesn't need to be very powerful either, probably the kind you have at your school. Put a drop of water on the mold and mix it gently with a toothpick. (It may take a couple of tries to get the right amount of mixing. Some molds give up their secrets more easily than others.) Then put some of the liquid on a slide and look at it under the microscope. What you will see are the mold spores and the spore-
forming structures (the sporangia), which give a more certain
identification of the mold than just the colony color. (If you just see a
big black blob, you probably have too much stuff. Look at the edge of the blob and see if you can make out individual structures, or try again with less mixing.) This is the first thing a mycologist would do also.';

I am a former chef and most cheese are not intially made with a fungus , but are treated with various bacterial cultures to form a mold, like blue cheese starts out as a white round block of cheese, they then inoculate it with long needles with a bacteria and the mold veins form overtime.
Even Camembert is rubbed with a bacteria to form the white outer crust, cheddar, brie, all medium to hard cheeses are in some way formed with a bacteria to obtain there flavours and textures.
Mold is a by product of the bacteria in the cheese or on the cheese, none is harmful infact like the one in yougart and buttermilk aid in the digestion of the milk in the cheese.

What are the main characteristics of fungi?
what do they all have in common?What are the main characteristics of fungi?
All fungi are eukaryotic, heterotrophic, saprophytic, chitinous cell walls. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fungus
[1] Eukaryotic - fungal cells have membrane bound nuclei and organelles
[2] Heterotrophic - they must absorb organic carboniferous material to grow and survive, unlike plants which only need inorganic carbon (CO2) and sunlight to ';eat';
[3] Saprophytic - they feed on dead and decomposing matter
[4] Chitinous cell walls
[5] Spore producing
----
There are a few things that are mostly true or usually true and can be considered characteristics of fungi
[6] The produce hyphae (collectively mycelia)
[7] Most are multicellular or have a multicellular phase
[8] Their visible structures are haploid (half the DNA)
[9] They prefer dark moist environments.
[10] Many can reproduce sexually, but all reproduce asexually.
[11] Zygotic meiosis - this means that there is only one diploid cell in the organisms life cycle, and that is the zygote which forms from the fusion of two haploid gametes and immediately undergoes reduction division (meiosis) to form haploid cells, which reproduce by mitosis and generate a multicellular fungus. Virtually any part of any fungus that is visible to the naked eye is haploid.What are the main characteristics of fungi?
all need spores for reproduction...is one of the characteristics
almost need humidity for survive is another characteristic....and I know that exist more things but I cant remember right now ( I see those long time a go in biology class...)
There is alot of info in this link.
But generally Fungi grow as hyphae, long filaments. The also are heterotrophic and to spread fungi they release spores.

[2] Heterotrophic - they must absorb organic carboniferous material to grow and survive, unlike plants which only need inorganic carbon (CO2) and sunlight to ';eat';
[3] Saprophytic - they feed on dead and decomposing matter
[4] Chitinous cell walls
[5] Spore producing
----
There are a few things that are mostly true or usually true and can be considered characteristics of fungi
[6] The produce hyphae (collectively mycelia)
[7] Most are multicellular or have a multicellular phase
[8] Their visible structures are haploid (half the DNA)
[9] They prefer dark moist environments.
[10] Many can reproduce sexually, but all reproduce asexually.
[11] Zygotic meiosis - this means that there is only one diploid cell in the organisms life cycle, and that is the zygote which forms from the fusion of two haploid gametes and immediately undergoes reduction division (meiosis) to form haploid cells, which reproduce by mitosis and generate a multicellular fungus. Virtually any part of any fungus that is visible to the naked eye is haploid.What are the main characteristics of fungi?
all need spores for reproduction...is one of the characteristics
almost need humidity for survive is another characteristic....and I know that exist more things but I cant remember right now ( I see those long time a go in biology class...)
There is alot of info in this link.
But generally Fungi grow as hyphae, long filaments. The also are heterotrophic and to spread fungi they release spores.
What evidence supports that animals and fungi probably evolved from the same ancestor?
their DNA is composed of the same structures.
How does malt extract agar isolate fungi?
Malt Extract Broth contains malt extract which provides the carbon, protein, and nutrient sources required for growth of microorganisms. Maltose is added as an energy source. Dextrose is included as a source of fermentable carbohydrate. Yeast extract provides the vitamins and cofactors required for growth and additional sources of nitrogen and carbon.
The acidic pH of Malt Extract Agar and Broth allows for the optimal growth of molds and yeasts while restricting bacterial growth.

How can u remove the fungi from athlete foot?
juss trying to know how to cure my dad.How can u remove the fungi from athlete foot?
david,
Yes, and it's rather simple to do.
Go to any grocery store and get an athlete's foot powder or cream. Dr Scholl's foot powder is probably the best-known of them, and works very well. Lamisil is a very good cream.
The creams are antifungal, that is, they attack and kill the fungus responsible for athlete's foot directly.
The powders kill it indirectly. Since funguses grow in moist environments, the powders keep the foot dry and the fungus dies.
It takes a while to do this. Since the fungus grows slowly, it dies slowly, too. So keep on using whichever of the treatments that you choose (your dad might not like one of them. I remember that I reacted to one of the creams--it gave me a burning sensation--and switched to a powder, It worked completely) for as long as he needs to. It'll work.
Good luck.How can u remove the fungi from athlete foot?
I found some natural remedies that may help your dad, if the pharmacy-type treatments aren't working.... It's better to go natural if you can, and avoid the chemical stuff.
http://www.stretcher.com/stories/00/0002鈥?/a>
Tea Tree Oil
One of the best remedies for athletes foot is tea tree oil. It gets rid of and helps prevent athletes foot. Just put a bit on your finger and put on the affected parts of the foot.
Vinegar
I have found that applying vinegar (white distilled vinegar 5% acetic acid from the grocery store) to the affected areas of your feet will help keep athletes foot at bay. Just saturate a cotton ball and rub down your feet. You have to keep up with it for a few weeks even after symptoms disappear because fungus will come back quickly. Do this morning and at night.
Another alternative for athlete's foot is to soak your feet in 1/2 cup vinegar, 2 T of salt, and enough warm water to cover your feet. Both of these methods are dirt cheap and as effective if not more so than the expensive creams and powders at the pharmacy.
Corn Starch
I found that the best way to get rid of any type of moisture is with good old fashioned ';corn starch.'; The corn starch seems to absorb moisture from any type of wetness, including sweat. It really does work, just apply with a brush or pour into your shoes like powder.
Rubbing Alcohol and Aspirin
If you dissolve about 5 aspirin in 1/2 cup of rubbing alcohol and rub over your feet after showering/bathing , the aspirin will soak into the skin due to the alcohol mixture. This will kill fungus that causes odor and dry up athlete's foot problem. You will see the difference, and notice there is no foot odor right away. Do this before putting on your shoes in the morning and after taking them off each evening.
(I used this one with my son years ago, and it really works. Plus it helped kill the foot odor that was driving the whole family crazy )
I hope some of this helps
You can't really remove the fungi as it's growing in your skin, and sometimes secondary infections set it.
I know people have good results with a blend of 10 percent lavender and tea tree in alcohol, and apply to the area twice a day. It will help dry the skin after a bath and the essential oils will kill the fungi.
Both oils work better together than on their own.
Other than all the over-the-counter anti-fungal and athlet foot cream, a low sulphur soap (like Sastid) to clean the area would be helpful.
Also, it's important to cut down on sugar to speed up recovery and if it's a recurring problem, taking garlic pills (or even garlic as it is) helps as garlic has a very strong anti-fungal property.

What is difference between Fungi and mold?
Anyone know the major differences between the twoWhat is difference between Fungi and mold?
Mold is a type of fungi(fungus)What is difference between Fungi and mold?
fungus
Fungi (singular fungus) are a kingdom of eukaryotic organisms. The fungi are heterotrophic organisms characterized by a chitinous cell wall, and in the majority of species, filamentous growth as multicellular hyphae forming a mycelium; some fungal species also grow as single cells. Sexual and asexual reproduction is via spores, often produced on specialized structures or in fruiting bodies. Yeasts, molds, and mushrooms are examples of fungi. The discipline of biology devoted to the study of fungi is known as mycology.
molds
Molds (or moulds, see spelling differences) include all species of microscopic fungi that grow in the form of multicellular filaments, called hyphae.[1] In contrast, microscopic fungi that grow as single cells are called yeasts. A connected network of these tubular branching hyphae has the same DNA and is considered a single organism, referred to as a colony or in more technical terms a mycelium.
Molds do not form a specific taxonomic or phylogenetic grouping, but can be found in the divisions Zygomycota, Deuteromycota and Ascomycota. Although some molds cause disease or food spoilage, others are useful for their role in biodegradation or in the production of various foods, beverages, antibiotics and enzymes.
The term ';fungi'; includes the entire kingdom of heterotrophic and eukaryotic organisms that include molds, mushrooms, yeasts etc.
';Mold'; refers to microscopic fungi that grow in multicellular filaments called hyphae.
MOld grows on bread and they are yummy...Fungi is yeast like substance that grows on female genatalia...
actually, there's no difference since molds are fungi. the common fungi that you can see is the mushroom that belongs to the phylum basidiomycota. remeber, that you have other phyla to which the molds you are referring to belong. for instance, the bread mold Rhizopus (pls. underline or italicize, it's a genus) that you see are actually reproductive structures of the fungi that you calle hyphae (pls check whether this is correct)

Need an answer ASAP!!!In what ways do fungi resemble plant cells? In what ways are they different?
Fungal cells have a cell wall, like the plant cells. But the fungal wall is made of chitin, whereas, plant cell wall is made of cellulose.
Plant cells also have chloroplasts and are green. Fungal cells do not have chloroplasts.

Can someone please explain the life cycle of Ascomycota fungi?
..I'll report it tomorrow..please, someone expalain it to me clearly. the whole process..etc.plz..Can someone please explain the life cycle of Ascomycota fungi?
ascomycota fungi also known as sac fungi, because they form a sac, reproduce asexually through spores. when the spores germinates into hyphae they attract other hyphae from the same ascomycete species but from different mating types. they fuse and form a structure containing many independent nuclei, heterokaryotic hyphea. a short heterokaryotic hapae, containing one nucleus from each parent, emerges and eventually grows into a complex reproductive structure with a distinctive cell called the ascus (sac). after the two nuclei in the heterokaryotic cell fuse inside the sac, meiosis takes place and haploid spores are produced. when the ascus matures, its splits and the spores are released. then the cycle is repeated.

How to grow fungi mashroom indoor?
Depends on the species of MUSHROOM you intend to grow. There is no one method to describe how to grow all mushrooms indoors. Start researching online to learn the basic principles of sterility that would be the most important basic thing to learn.How to grow fungi mashroom indoor?
I have seen the places where fungi mushrooms are grown... dingy, dark, moist areas. Below is some information on the subject of growing such organisms:
White mushrooms, like all mushrooms, grow from microscopic spores, not seeds. Plants growing from spores are called fungi. A mature mushroom will drop as many as 16 billion spores. Spores must be collected in the nearly sterile environment of a laboratory and then used to inoculate grains or seeds to produce a product called spawn (the mushroom farmer's equivalent of seed).
Because mushrooms have no chlorophyll, they must get all their nutrients from organic matter in their growing medium. The medium, called compost, is scientifically formulated of various materials such as straw, corn cobs, cotton seed and cocoa seed hulls, gypsum and nitrogen supplements. Preparing the compost takes one to two weeks. Then it's pasteurized and placed in large trays or beds. Next, the spawn is worked into the compost and the growing takes place in specially constructed houses, where the farmers can regulate the crucial aspects of heat and humidity.
In two to three weeks, the compost becomes filled with the root structure of the mushroom, a network of lacy white filaments called mycelium. At that point, a layer of pasteurized peat moss is spread over the compost. The temperature of the compost and the humidity of the room must be carefully controlled in order for the mycelium to develop fully. Eventually, tiny white protrusions form on the mycelium and push up through the peat moss. Farmers call this pinning. The pins continue to grow, becoming the mushroom caps, which are actually the fruit of the plant, just as a tomato is the fruit of a tomato plant. It takes 17 to 25 days to produce mature mushrooms after the peat moss is applied. Size is no indication of maturity in mushrooms. Perfectly ripe ones vary from small buttons to large caps.
Each crop is harvested over a period of several weeks and then the house is emptied and steam-sterilized before the process begins again. The remaining compost is recycled for potting soil. The harvested mushrooms are set in carts, refrigerated and then packaged and shipped quickly to supermarkets, food processors and restaurants. The entire process from the time the farmer starts preparing the compost until the mushrooms are harvested and shipped to market takes about four months

What are two adaptive advantages of fungi which involves spores?
Spores are made by the millions, so some of them are likely to land in a good place to grow.
Spores are lightweight and can drift around on the slightest air currents, so spores are spread far and wide.
Spores have hard outer coverings to protect them until they begin to grow.What are two adaptive advantages of fungi which involves spores?
fungi produce spores to protect them when they are in harsh environments. when the environment gets right the spores reproduce! that's all i know!

Why do media used to culture fungi contain sugars?
Because fungi cannot make it's own sugar and needs a source from outside to grow.
What is the difference between fungi and yeast cells?
Fungi are plant-like organisms that lack chlorophyll. Fungi are one of the five kingdoms of life. Many fungi are good and useful (edible mushrooms would be an example of these) while some cause problems (some fungi can injure plants and people). There are over 100,000 species of fungi.
Yeast are unicellular fungi. One of the more well known characteristics is the ability to ferment sugars for the production of ethanol.
Is this helping you?What is the difference between fungi and yeast cells?
Yeast IS a fungus, so no essential difference.
I suspect there's more tp this question, possibly to do with yeast being a single cell and many of the other fungi being coenocytic.

Is this helping you?What is the difference between fungi and yeast cells?
Yeast IS a fungus, so no essential difference.

How should I treat fungi on nails?
My mom has Fungi on her nails and she cleans houses so with the bleach its really hurting her nails she got it when they did her nails at the spa. She has no medical insurance, so over the counter medicine.How should I treat fungi on nails?
There's a lot of old remedies for this but there's no sure fire way. I've seen were you first soak your feet in water and peroxide for about 15 minutes,then coat the nails with vapo rub and wear socks to bed. It take a while to work. Anti-fungal pills are very expensive especially lamisil but they also have a topical treatment. It's expensive but it works over time.How should I treat fungi on nails?
why is 'bleach' hurting her nails? seems the fungus is the problem. she should be wearing gloves and mask when working with toxic chemicals.
see a doctor for treatment. remove any and all polishes and apply topical appropriate antifungal to the area. if it is real bad (usually no pain is associated with nail fungus) she should see a doctor.

What (besides rain) causes fungi to develope in my yard?
Well, fungi reproduce by spores, so that is the ultimate reason they are there. Once a fungus gets going, it forms a mat of material that is usually not visible (a mycelial mat). The mushrooms you see are just the fruiting body of the fungus. Most of the organism is in the mycelial mat. When the temperature and humidity are right, this mat produces the mushrooms, but the mat itself needs to be feeding on something. Usually that is dead wood or leaves. The specifics depend on the exct type of fungus you have.What (besides rain) causes fungi to develope in my yard?
Friend Fungi is something that remains in crystalline form but when exposed to water it grows so sometimes its living n sometimes non-living.In ur yard fungi is caused perhaps due to dew drops humidity and check if u have leaking water pipe nearby.What (besides rain) causes fungi to develope in my yard?
Of course they need water, but they also need food. Most of the time fungi in a lawn are heterotrophic (eating dead organic material). I see mushrooms often over dead roots. Remember the fungi can live unseen just as mycelia, but the fruiting bodys are the mushrooms we see.
It is often thought that there is something lacking in the soil to promote fungal growth. This may be partially true. However, I like to think that there are few green organisms (plants) that will eat a dead root, so the fungi are necessary to break down dead organic matter.

Why there is more bacteria present in the eviroment the fungi?
Bacterial cells are smaller than the cells of fungi. Fungi are eukaryotes, meaning that they have complicated cellular machinery that is not found in bacterial cells. In fact, genetic studies show that fungi are more closely related to animals than to plants. In any event, there are vastly more bacterial cells on this planet than the cells of all of the fungi, plants and animals combined.Why there is more bacteria present in the eviroment the fungi?
maybe they are smaller....are you talking about actual numbers or biomass??? Bacteria are smaller and so there would be more in numbers, but I wonder if there are as much in biomass.

What is the differance between mushroom and fungi?
i've read that some kinds of mushroom can treat cancer, while i've also read that cancer is caused by fungi, and mushroom is fungi,,
i need explanatin please,,, thanxWhat is the differance between mushroom and fungi?
well a mushroom is a fungi. but fungi also is the green thing that appear on an orange left for days outside of the fridge. What is the differance between mushroom and fungi?
Technically Fungi is the Kingdom (main group) and mushrooms belong in this Kingdom. Because the Kingdom of Fungi is so huge there are many species of mushroom within Fungi and so whilst some may cure cancer (theoretically), with such a diverse group of organisms it becomes very possible for something in the same Kingdom (because of similar evolutionary characteristics) can cause cancer.
Fungi are a large kingdom. A major group of fungi is the Basidiomycota, the mushrooms.
For example: mammal:animal::mushroom:fungus
Fungi make a lot of various toxins. When you don't move, you don't have much else to defend yourself with. Some of these can cause cancers by damaging DNA, a few kill rapidly dividing cells, ie cancer cells.
Indeed, Fungi is a Kingdom, which is a taxonomic label. So within the Fungi Kingdom, there are certain fungi that produce mushrooms. Typically, the mushrooms we are familiar with, especially those we eat, are actually the reproductive structures of certain fungi groups.
mushroom usually just denotes the shape
There are many different types of fungi. Mushrooms are just one type.
All mushrooms are fungi, but not all fungi are mushrooms.

In what environment and conditions does bread have to be in to get fungi faster?
Mold grows quicker on bread if you keep it in a warm, dark and damp place. If you are looking to grow mold for some sort of experiment, adding a touch of water to the bread before storing it in cabinet should work pretty well. Hope that helps.In what environment and conditions does bread have to be in to get fungi faster?

Does funguses effect the soil around the plants?
Fungi (plural form) are present in the soil. There are both beneficial and parasitic fungi! Damping off fungi causing young seedlings to die shortly after sprouting is a good example of a harmful one. There are fungi that form an association of the roots of plants that actually enhances the growth of the host plant by increasing the absorption surface of the roots and increasing solubility of the minerals. These mycorrhizal fungi are beneficial to plants.Does funguses effect the soil around the plants?

Do you know any websites that list the positive contributions of bacteria and fungi/mushrooms on the planet?
I don't have any links for you, but some key words for you to input into your search. Beneficial fungi are known as ';mychorrizae fungi.'; (You might want to check the sp.) so, I suggest typing that in, and you should get bountiful results for the fungi portion of the question.
What do mychorrizae fungi do, well, they create a symbiotic relationship with various plant species. they usually transport nitrogen and various nutrients that the plant has a hard time consuming itself, and as a trade, the plant exchanges sugars to the fungi.............hope this helps, don't have time to keep going on.Do you know any websites that list the positive contributions of bacteria and fungi/mushrooms on the planet?

Does anyone know how to remove fungi from a garden lawn?
Not good news I'm afraid.
There is currently no chemical control for 'Fairy Rings' of fungi.
The only known cure is to remove all the soil eight inches deep and for 20 inches either side of the ring. Replace with fresh top soil and reseed.
http://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profiles100鈥?/a>Does anyone know how to remove fungi from a garden lawn?
Go for a systemic fungicide; you should be able to get it at a lawn and garden center. Spray it on according to the directions. Also be sure not to water in the evenings if you can help it, but stick with morning, so the water soaks into the ground, but the sun can help evaporate water off the leaves.
Good luck!Does anyone know how to remove fungi from a garden lawn?
Wear gloves and pick them off as low as possible. Dispose of them in the bin.
there is no chemical cure for mushrooms... if that is the kind of fungus you are talking about... mushrooms (fairy rings) grow in the lawn when there is some kind of wood decaying... whether it be roots from a dying tree, mulch, buried tree pieces... whatever the source, mushrooms are helping break down (decompose) the wood matter... when the wood matter is gone, the shrooms will be gone... the shrooms will not hurt your lawn... now if you are talking about some other kind of fungus effecting your lawn... usually aerating helps, water in the morning vs. evening... all kinds of culture practices, depending on what the fungus is... as far as fungicides go: they do not kill the fungus, they only protect healthy grass from being affected; they need to be applied at the proper time during the season, or you are just wasting your money cause they will not help, and you need to choose the right chemical for the type of fungus you have...
I suggest calling an expert... usually your county extension agent can identify the problem... or just check your extension office on-line for more info.... search for: University of (your state) county extension agency.... example, mine is: University of Wisconsin Brown County Extension

Differences of Viruses, bacteria, protists and fungi?
I need to know what the similarities and differences are. :)
please help!Differences of Viruses, bacteria, protists and fungi?
Viruses are simply free floating DNA with protein caps
Bacteria divide not by mitosis but binary fission
Protists reproduce sexually and asexually; have food vacuoles
Fungi are not plants and do not perform photosynthesis and are comprised of hyphaeDifferences of Viruses, bacteria, protists and fungi?
I don't know all of them but here are some
Viruses are not living and need a host to reproduce. Vaccines target viruses by injecting a partial amount of the virus. Viruses are just DNA in a protein coat
Bacteria do not have a nucleus and antibiotics can target bacteria.
Protists are larger than bacteria. They can reproduce asexually.
I'm not sure about fungi.
Out of protists, bacteria, and viruses, protists are the largest (can be seen with 10x microscopic lens), bacteria are the next largest, and viruses are the smallest.

I have a science project on fungi?
I would like to do an experiment to show the class how mold grows on bread..etc., what other great things can i show the class to explain fungi? I would also like to bring a mushroom. any other ideas?I have a science project on fungi?
Those are two very good ideas as you can easily grow mold on damp bread, and also purchase mushrooms at the grocery. You might also use yeast in an experiment that the students could participate in, if your teacher allows you to. They could mix yeast with warm water and sugar in a test tube, and then collect the gas in a ballon attached to the top. Or put it in a pipet and invert in a beaker to watch the gas bubble out into the water. This shows yeast is alive and is generating CO2 gas as it carries out respiration. You can probably find simple experimental set-ups on the Internet or ask your teacher for help. You could then connect a fungus (yeast) that produces bread, to a fungus (stolonifera nigra, black bread mold) that destroys it. Very interesting for kids to learn that bread is made from a fungi.

What are three ways that Fungi are useful to humans (us) ?
Beneficial fungi cover our bodies and prevent harmful fungi from infesting us. For example, the species Tinia is a yeast form fungi that covers our bodies. A yeast infection, jock itch, thrush, or athlete's foot are overgrowths of that fungi so most people think Tinia is bad. But it isn't. It is actually good for us. We'd be in trouble without it.
It facilitates the making of food. Bread, beer, etc.
It also breaks down dead things. Life on this planet would suck if things didn't rot. So that is definitely helpful to humans.What are three ways that Fungi are useful to humans (us) ?
food medicine and beverageWhat are three ways that Fungi are useful to humans (us) ?

How do you tell fungi apart from eachother?
Fungi are a whole kingdom so its very complicated, its like saying how can you identify one animal from another. You need to use ID keys to identify individual species using nearly any book on Fungi.antivirus download
Could someone make a dichotomous key-separates the kingdoms Club Fungi, Sac Fungi, Zygote Fungi?
You do not need to key to a specific organism. Your key should end at the Kingdom level for Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, Plantae, and Animalia. Your key should end at the major groups for Kingdom Fungi. As a guide, you may want to think in terms of prokaryotic, eukaryotic, unicellular, multicellular, autotrophic, heterotrophic, type of reproduction, etc.Could someone make a dichotomous key-separates the kingdoms Club Fungi, Sac Fungi, Zygote Fungi?
