Fungi in question Class Mode of Nutrition Aerobic, anaerobic, etc. Asexual formation Sexual formation Habitat Are any disease causing members? How/what? Does it produce mycotoxin? Does it form mold or spores? Other important characteristics
Aspergillus eurotiomycetes saprophytic
Blastomyces eurotiomycetes saprophytic aerobic yes no soils in rich organic matter blastomycosis, via inhalation of infected soil particles no spores only
Candida albicans Saccharomycetes saprophytic faculative anaerobic no yes mucosal membranes of mammals candidiasis by rapid multiplication yes both
Cryptococcus gattii basidiomycetes saprophytic
Dermatophytosis saprophytic
Histoplasma eurotiomycetes saprophytic
Pneumocystis saprophytic
Sporotrichosis saprophytic
Talaromyces marneffei saprophytic

Solutions

Expert Solution

Aspergilus : aerobic, asexual formation - yes, sexual formation-no, found in soil and can grow on bread cheese, wood,decomposing matter, spores can be found in air.

Cryptococcus gattii : obligate aerobe, both sexual and asexual formation, found in trees and soil around trees and associated with eucalyptus tree, inhalation of airborne dried yeast cells or spores leads to disease.

Dermatophytosis : filamentous ascomycetes, aerobic, asexual yes , sexual no, habitat- zoophilic(animal associated), geophilic(soil), anthropophilic(human associated).

Histoplasma : aerobic, asexual reproduction by budding, sexual reproduction no, habitat- found in soil contaminated with bird droppings or bat excrements.

Pneumocystis : ascomycetes, aerobic, sexual ascus formation, asexual formation no, habitat human lung

Sporotrichosis : ascomycota, aerobic, asexual yes, sexual no, habitat soil and plants.

Talaromyces marneffei : eurotiomycetes, aerobic, asexual yes sexual , habitat found in bamboo rats faeces, liver, spleen.

Some phyla of fungi produce two types of spores: sexual spores and asexual spores. Mark all TRUE statements about these different spores below. Sexual spores will be dispersed from the parent and germinate to form a new mycelium. Sexual spores fuse to form a diploid cell or diploid nucleus. The sexual spores produced by a fungus will have different combinations of alleles from the parent fungi. Sexual spores are more commonly known as “gametes”. Sexual spores are genetically identical to...
