FUNGI Eukaryotic, spore-bearing, heterotrophic organisms that produce extracellular enzymes and absorb their nutrition. JAMUR ■ Natural decomposers of organic matter – saprophytic ■ Plant pathogens ● Obligate parasites, species dependent eg rusts and mildews ● Facultative parasites eg smut fungi ■ Industrial importance ● Fermentation processes eg yeasts in beers, wines (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) ● Antibiotic production eg Penicillium notatum (penicillin) ■ Human and animal pathogens – superficial and systemic mycoses & allergies ■ Mycotoxins ■ Research – genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology Characteristics of fungi ■ Eukaryotes ■ No chlorophyl (distinguishes them from plants and algae) ■ Unicellular to filamentous ■ Rigid cell wall ■ Spore bearing stages in the life cycle ■ Usually reproduce by sexual and asexual ■ Insensitive to antibacterial antibiotics Spores - a minute propagative unit functioning as a seed, but differing from it in that a spore does not contain a preformed embryo Fruiting body - any complex fungal structure that contains or bears spores; a sporocarp TUBUH VEGETATIF ■ unicellular (yeast), ■ filamentous, or both (=dimorphic) ■ Hypha (pl. hyphae) is the basic “cellular” unit in filamentous fungi; they may be septate or coenocytic (aseptate); collectively a mycelium MODIFIKASI HIFA Sklerotium Rizomorf Rizoid • • • • • • Heterotrophic Secrete extracellular enzymes Absorptive nutrition Saprobes: decay dead organic matter pathogens: biotroph, necrotroph symbionts: parasites - commensals - mutualists mitokondria Dinding sel Badan golgi glikogen mikrotubul vakuola Membran sitoplasma Inti sel Retikulum endoplasma ribosom Asexual reproduction ■ Asexual spore formation: • chlamydospores (formed within sporangia) • conidia (formed naked at tips of hyphae) ■ Budding (cell division) ■ Fragmentation (of mycelium) Sporangium Peronosclerospora maydis Phytophthora sp. Aspergillus sp. Alternaria sp. Fusarium sp. Phytium sp. Helminthosporium Pertunasan (budding) pada khamir (yeast) Sexual spores ■ Some fungi also produce sexual spores as a result of sexual reproduction – Result of fusion of • unicellular gametes or • specialised hyphae (gametangia) • from the fusion of 2 haploid cells to yield a diploid cell which then undergoes meiosis and mitosis to yield individual spores • The nature of the spore depends on the group of fungus – Ascospores (Ascomycetes) – Basidiospores (Basidiomycetes) – Zygospores (Zygomycetes) Ascospores (Ascomycetes) Pembentukan spora seksual pada kelas Basidiomycetes Basidiospore Zygospore Spora seksual pada kelas Zygomycetes
