Reproduction
Filamentous fungi Asexually by fragmentation of hyphaeAsexual and sexual reproduction by spores
YeastsAsexually by budding or fission: Fission: e.g. Schizosacchromyces
pombe. Budding e.g. Saccharomyces
cerevisiae.Sexual reproduction by spores (in high stress condition)

Terms
Fragmentation can occur whereby mycelium are torn apart by external forces and these bits can start new individuals if conditions are favourable.
Fission is a simple splitting of a cell into two new daughter cells by constriction and the formation of a cell wall e.g. yeast.
Budding is the production of small outgrowths (bud) from a parent cell and as the bus is formed, the nucleus of the parent cell divides and one daughter nucleus migrates into the bud. The bud increase in size while still attached to the parent cell and eventually breaks off and forms a new individual. Yeast reproduce via budding but do some other fungi in different conditions.

Kingdom Fungi – 4 Major Phyla
1. Phylum Zygomycota = the Bread Molds
Rhizopus – black bread mold
2. Phylum Ascomycota = the Sac Fungi
Yeast, morels, truffles
3. Phylum Basidiomycota = the Club Fungi
Mushrooms, puffballs, bracket fungi, rusts, smuts, toadstools
4. Phylum Deuteromycota = the Fungi Imperfecti

Reproduction
Teleomorphs-produce both sexual and asexual sporesAnamorphs- lost ability to reproduce sexually-Penicillium
belonged to Deuteromycota now classified as anamorphs of other phyla: rRNA & Woesemost are Ascomycetes

ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
![Page 7: Chap 3 fungal reproduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55d4dc7fbb61ebbd1d8b45fe/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Asexual Spores
More important type of reproduction as it occurs several times throughout the season. Produced by fragmentation of aerial hyphaeProgeny genetically identical to parent
![Page 8: Chap 3 fungal reproduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55d4dc7fbb61ebbd1d8b45fe/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Production of spores is most common type of reproduction.
Production of spores where each spore germinate to form a germ tube that grows into the mycelium.
Spores can be of various colours, depending on: the colour of hyaline (green, yellow,
orange, red, brown, black); shape (oval, oblong, needle-shaped,
helical); number of cells (one to many); arrangement of cells and where they are
situated.

ASEXUAL SPORESConidiospore
Multiple (chains) or single spores formed at the end of an aerial hypha Not enclosed within a sacEg: Aspergillus spp. and Penicillium spp.
![Page 12: Chap 3 fungal reproduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55d4dc7fbb61ebbd1d8b45fe/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Conidial fungus
reproduces by means of asexual spores called conidiaConidia vary greatly in shape, size and colorMost of the common household molds & mildews are conidial fungi

Chlamydospores
The chlamydospore is a method of producing a substantial resting spore very quickly
Nutrient is shunted from adjacent cells into a preferred cell and it swells up, converts nutrient materials to oil droplets for efficient storage, then rounds off with a thick, often roughened outer wall for protection
![Page 17: Chap 3 fungal reproduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55d4dc7fbb61ebbd1d8b45fe/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
![Page 20: Chap 3 fungal reproduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55d4dc7fbb61ebbd1d8b45fe/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Sexual Reproduction
• Union of two nuclei.
• The entire thallus can be converted into one or more reproductive structures.
• Somatic and reproductive phases do not occur together in the same individual and this is called holocarpic.
• In majority of fungi, only a portion of the thallus give rise to reproductive organs and they are called eucarpic.
![Page 21: Chap 3 fungal reproduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55d4dc7fbb61ebbd1d8b45fe/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Some fungal species produce distinguishable male and female sex organs on each thallus – hermaphroditic or monoecius. These species can reproduce sexually by itself.
Other species consist of male or female thalli – dioecious and therefore cannot reproduce itself.
Sexual Reproduction (con’t)
![Page 22: Chap 3 fungal reproduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55d4dc7fbb61ebbd1d8b45fe/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
The sex organs are called gametangia / gametangium which may differentiate into gametes.
The male gametangium are called antheridia / antheridium and the female are called oogonia / oogonium.
Heterokaryosis – the existence of different kinds of nuclei in the same individual.
![Page 23: Chap 3 fungal reproduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55d4dc7fbb61ebbd1d8b45fe/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Sexual SporesThree phases of development
Plasmogamy: a union of two protoplasts bringing about the nuclei close together and within same cell.- haploid nucleus of a donor cell (+) penetrates the
cytoplasm of a recipient cell (-)
Karyogamy: Fusion of the two nuclei. Formation of a dikaryon – a binucleate cell containing two nuclei from each parent- the 2 nuclei fuse to form a diploid nucleus
Meiosis: diploid nucleus gives rise to haploid nuclei- Sexual spores, some + , some -,some recombinants- Sexual spores used to classify fungi into divisions
![Page 24: Chap 3 fungal reproduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55d4dc7fbb61ebbd1d8b45fe/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Classification of these groups
First three groups is based on their method of sexual reproduction
4th group, the Deuteromycetes, have NO sexual reproduction
![Page 25: Chap 3 fungal reproduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55d4dc7fbb61ebbd1d8b45fe/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
ZYGOMYCOTA
![Page 26: Chap 3 fungal reproduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55d4dc7fbb61ebbd1d8b45fe/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Also known as bread molds. Saprophytic molds with coenocytic hyphae (lack septa). Asexual Reproduction: Used most of the time.
Sporangiospore: Asexual spore enclosed within a sporangium or sac at the end on an aerial hypha.
Sexual Reproduction: Occurs through conjugation, the joining of hypha of two different strains (plus and minus).
Zygospores: Sexual spores which are enclosed in a thick, resistant wall.
Generally not pathogens.
Rhizopus stolonifer: Common black bread mold. May cause opportunistic infections in diabetes patients
Zygomycota (Conjugation Fungi)
![Page 27: Chap 3 fungal reproduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55d4dc7fbb61ebbd1d8b45fe/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Zygomycota – common molds
The fungal mass of hyphae, known as the MYCELIUM penetrates the bread and produces the fruiting bodies on top of the stalks.
Mycelia = a mass of hyphae or filaments
![Page 28: Chap 3 fungal reproduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55d4dc7fbb61ebbd1d8b45fe/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Rhizoids = root-like hyphae
The zhizoids meet underground and mating occurs between hyphae of different molds (SEXUAL REPRODUCTION)

Deuteromycota – the Fungi Imperfecti
Resemble Ascomycetes, but their reproductive cycle has never been observed
Different from Ascomycetes because there is a definite lack of sexual reproduction, which is why they are called Imperfect Fungi

PARASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
![Page 45: Chap 3 fungal reproduction](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051516/55d4dc7fbb61ebbd1d8b45fe/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Parasexual Reproduction This phenomenon occurs whereby the three steps in sexual reproduction take place not at specific points in the life cycle. Several Ascomycota species are not known to have a sexual cycle. Such asexual species may be able to undergo genetic recombination between individuals by processes involving heterokaryosis and parasexual events.Parasexuality refers to the process of heterokaryosis, caused by merging of two hyphae belonging to different individuals, by a process called anastomosis, followed by a series of events resulting in genetically different cell nuclei in the mycelium.
