Absidia
''Absidia'' is a genus of zygote fungi in the family Cunninghamellaceae. ''Absidia'' species are ubiquitous in most environments where they are often associated with warm decaying plant matter, such as compost heaps. Some species in the genus can cause phycomycosis. Taxonomy The genus was first described in 1878 by Philippe Édouard Léon Van Tieghem.

Cunninghamella Echinulata
''Cunninghamella echinulata'' is a fungal species in the genus ''Cunninghamella.'' It is an asexually reproducing fungus and a mesophile, preferring intermediate temperature ranges. ''C. echinulata'' is a common air contaminant, and is currently of interest to the biotechnology industry due to its ability to synthesize γ-linolenic acid as well as its capacity to bioconcentrate metals. This species is a soil saprotroph that forms rhizoids, preferring soils enriched in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. It has been reported occasionally an agent of mucormycosis following the inhalation of fungal spores. Czapek's agar is a suitable growth medium for the propagation of ''C. echinulata.'' Taxonomy, growth and morphology ''Cunninghamella echinulata'' is a member of the family, Cunninghamellaceae (phylum Mucoromycota). This species is closely related to ''C. elegans'', and both species share highly similar characteristics of growth and morphology. Colonies tend to be rapidly grow ...

Mucorales
The Mucorales is the largest and best studied order of zygomycete fungi. Members of this order are sometimes called pin molds. The term mucormycosis is now preferred for infections caused by molds belonging to the order Mucorales. Systematics The order includes: 11 families, 56 genera, and approximately 300 species. Mucoralean classification has traditionally been based on morphological, developmental, and ecological characteristics. Recently, molecular data has revealed, that some aspects of traditional classification are quite artificial. For example, the Mucoraceae is believed to be polyphyletic, as are the Thamnidiaceae, Chaetocladiaceae and Radiomycetaceae. Some of the genera, (including ''Mucor'', ''Absidia'' and ''Backusella'') appear to be polyphyletic. Today, the traditional system is still largely in use, as further studies are needed to reconcile morphological and molecular concepts of families and genera. Families The order consists of the following families ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Louis Matruchot
Alphonse Louis Paul Matruchot (born 14 January 1863 in Verrey-sous-Salmaise and died 5 July 1921 in Paris) was a French mycologist. In 1883 he began work as an assistant teacher at the Lycée Saint-Louis in Paris. In 1889 he received his agrégation for natural sciences, becoming a préparateur of botany at the École normale supérieure (serving from 1889 to 1892). He earned his doctorate in 1892, later being appointed ''chef de travaux pratiques'' to the faculty of Paris. In 1902-04 he was a lecturer at the École normale supérieure, followed by an assignment as deputy assistant professor (1904-12). Matruchot was a member of the Société mycologique de France and the Société botanique de France (1890). Selected publications * ''Recherches sur le développement de quelques mucédinées'', 1892 – Research on the development of some mucidines. * ''Les mycelium truffiers blancs'', 1903 with Émile Boulanger – The white truffle mycelium Mycelium (plural mycelia) is ...

Zygospore
A zygospore is a diploid reproductive stage in the life cycle of many fungi and protists. Zygospores are created by the nuclear fusion of haploid cells. In fungi, zygospores are formed in zygosporangia after the fusion of specialized budding structures, from mycelia of the same (in homothallic fungi) or different mating types (in heterothallic fungi), and may be chlamydospores. In many eukaryotic algae, including many species of the Chlorophyta, zygospores are formed by the fusion of unicellular gametes of different mating types. A zygospore remains dormant while it waits for environmental cues, such as light, moisture, heat, or chemicals secreted by plants. When the environment is favorable, the zygospore germinates, meiosis occurs, and haploid vegetative cells are released. In fungi, a sporangium is produced at the end of a sporangiophore that sheds spores. A fungus that forms zygospores is called a zygomycete, indicating that the class Class or The Class may refer to: Com ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Human Pathogen
A human pathogen is a pathogen (microbe or microorganism such as a virus, bacterium, prion, or fungus) that causes disease in humans. The human physiological defense against common pathogens (such as ''Pneumocystis'') is mainly the responsibility of the immune system with help by some of the body's normal flora and fauna. However, if the immune system or "good" microbiota are damaged in any way (such as by chemotherapy, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or antibiotics being taken to kill other pathogens), pathogenic bacteria that were being held at bay can proliferate and cause harm to the host. Such cases are called opportunistic infections. Some pathogens (such as the bacterium ''Yersinia pestis'', which may have caused the Black Plague, the ''Variola'' virus, and the malaria protozoa) have been responsible for massive numbers of casualties and have had numerous effects on affected groups. Of particular note in modern times is HIV, which is known to have infected several milli ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
