Sordariaceae
The Sordariaceae are a family of perithecial fungi within the Sordariales order. The family includes the important model organism ''Neurospora crassa'' that is used in genetic research. Members of the family include the red bread molds in the genus ''Neurospora'', including '' Neurospora sitophila'', which is used to produce the fermented food oncom. Other species in the family inhabit herbivore dung or plant parts. Characteristics Sordariaceae have dark, usually ostiolate ascomata, and unitunicate, cylindrical asci. Their ascospores are brown to black, often with a gelatinous sheath or with wall ornamentations, but lack gelatinous appendages. Systematics The family includes the following genera: *'' Cainiella'' *'' Copromyces'' *'' Effetia'' *'' Gelasinospora'' *'' Guilliermondia'' *''Neurospora'' *'' Pseudoneurospora'' *'' Sordaria'' *''Stellatospora ''Stellatospora'' is a genus of fungi within the Sordariaceae family.

Gelasinospora
''Gelasinospora'' is a genus of fungi within the order Sordariales. Reproduction *''Gelasinospora'' as a genus is made up of perithecial fungi, meaning that they discharge their ascospores through an ostiole. *Spores do not germinate easily, needing a treatment of temperature, chemicals or a combination of the two to initiate germination. *Like most ascomycetes, ''Gelasinospora'' species typically have 8 spores in each ascus An ascus (; ) is the sexual spore-bearing cell produced in ascomycete fungi. Each ascus usually contains eight ascospores (or octad), produced by meiosis followed, in most species, by a mitotic cell division. However, asci in some genera o .... References *C.J.

Sordariales
The order Sordariales is one of the most diverse taxonomic groups within the Sordariomycetes (subdivision Pezizomycotina, division Ascomycota). Species in the order Sordariales have a broad range of ecological diversity, containing lignicolous, herbicolous and coprophilous taxa. Most Sordariales are saprobic, producing solitary perithecial ascomata. They are commonly found on dung or decaying plant matter. The order contains a number of ecologically important species, including the model filamentous fungal genera Podospora and Neurospora, as well as potentially industrial-relevant fungi, such as members of the Chaetomiaceae family, which often produce biologically active secondary metabolites. The order Sordariales furthermore contains the highest diversity of thermophilic fungal species, with isolates present in seven different genera. Families in the order Sordariales Recent phylogenetic studies have aimed to contribute to the natural classification of this order. The mos ...

Neurospora Sitophila
''Neurospora sitophila'' is a species of fungus also known as red bread fungus or orange bread fungus. It is a mold that spoils various foods and is responsible for occupational asthma in the wood and cork industry. Classification ''Chrysonilia sitophila'' is the anamorphic counterpart of ''Neurospora sitophila'' ( teleomorph). Its position in the classification is: :''Sordariaceae'', '' Sordariales'', '' Sordariomycetidae'', ''Sordariomycetes'', ''Ascomycota'', '' Fungi''. History At the time of its discovery, in 1843, this fungus was named "''Penicillium sitophilum''" by Montagne and "''Oïdium aurantiacum''" by Léveillé Léveillé may refer to: * André Léveillé (born 1933), a politician in Quebec, Canada * André Léveillé (painter) (1880–1962), a French painter * Augustin Abel Hector Léveillé Augustin Abel Hector Léveillé (13 March 1864, in Le Mans � ..., but it is now considered not to belong to either genus '' Oidium'' nor '' Penicillium''.

Neurospora
''Neurospora'' is a genus of Ascomycete fungi. The genus name, meaning "nerve spore" refers to the characteristic striations on the spores that resemble axons. The best known species in this genus is ''Neurospora crassa'', a common model organism in biology. '' Neurospora intermedia'' var. ''oncomensis'' is believed to be the only mold belonging to ''Neurospora'' which is used in food production (to make oncom). Characteristics ''Neurospora'' species are molds with broadly spreading colonies, with abundant production of ascomata. Ascomata are superficial or immersed, perithecial and ostiolate or cleistothecial and non-ostiolate, hairy or glabrous, dark coloured. Peridium membranaceous, asci cylindrical, clavate or subspherical, with a persistent or evanescent wall, usually with a thickened and non-amyloid annular structure at the apex, usually 8-spored. Ascospores broadly fusiform, ellipsoidal, or nearly spherical, unicellular, hyaline to yellowish brown or olive-brown, becom ...

Neurospora Crassa
''Neurospora crassa'' is a type of red bread mold of the phylum Ascomycota. The genus name, meaning "nerve spore" in Greek, refers to the characteristic striations on the spores. The first published account of this fungus was from an infestation of French bakeries in 1843. ''Neurospora crassa'' is used as a model organism because it is easy to grow and has a haploid life cycle that makes genetic analysis simple since recessive traits will show up in the offspring. Analysis of genetic recombination is facilitated by the ordered arrangement of the products of meiosis in ''Neurospora'' ascospores. Its entire genome of seven chromosomes has been sequenced. ''Neurospora'' was used by Edward Tatum and George Wells Beadle in their experiments for which they won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1958. Beadle and Tatum exposed ''N. crassa'' to x-rays, causing mutations. They then observed failures in metabolic pathways caused by errors in specific enzymes. This led them to pr ...
