Heterothallic
Heterothallic species have sexes that reside in different individuals. The term is applied particularly to distinguish heterothallic fungi, which require two compatible partners to produce sexual spores, from homothallic ones, which are capable of sexual reproduction from a single organism. In heterothallic fungi, two different individuals contribute nuclei to form a zygote. Examples of heterothallism are included for ''Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus flavus'', ''Penicillium marneffei'' and ''Neurospora crassa''. The heterothallic life cycle of ''N. crassa'' is given in some detail, since similar life cycles are present in other heterothallic fungi. Life cycle of ''Saccharomyces cerevisiae'' The yeast ''Saccharomyces cerevisiae'' is heterothallic. This means that each yeast cell is of a certain mating type and can only mate with a cell of the other mating type. During vegetative growth that ordinarily occurs when nutrients are abundant, ''S. cerev ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mycopathologia
''Mycopathologia'' is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that covers the role of fungi in human and animal disease, i.e., medical and veterinary mycology. The journal was established in 1938 and is currently published by Springer Link. The current editor-in-chief is Vishnu Chaturvedi (California Department of Public Health / University of California, Berkeley). History The journal was initially established by Wilhelm Junk in The Hague as ''Mycopathologia'' () in 1938. Then in 1950, it continued publication under the name ''Mycopathologia & Mycologia Applicata'' (), before returning to ''Mycopathologia'' () in 1975. From 1959 to 1984, a supplement ''Iconographia Mycologica'' () was published alongside it. Abstracting and indexing ''Mycopathologia'' is abstracted and indexed An abstracting service is a service that provides abstracts of publications, often on a subject or group of related subjects, usually on a subscription basis. An indexing service is a service that assigns desc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
