(Tıp) Mantarlar, mantar, küf, maya gibi klorofilsiz bitkisel mikro-organizmalarla kökü, sapı, dal ve yaprakları bulunmayan klorofilsiz basit bitkileri içine alan, sınıf
One of the five kingdom classifications; consists of nonphotosynthetic, eukaryotic organisms with cell walls, filamentous bodies, and absorptive nutrition
Any of a group of simple plants that lack chlorophyll including molds, rusts, mildews, smuts and mushrooms They grow in areas of high humidity and some produce toxins
a large group of organisms including molds, mildews, yeasts, mushrooms, rusts, and smuts Most fungi produce spores, which are broadcast through the air so that virtually all environmental surfaces will have some fungal material Most health effects are associated with allergic responses to antigenic material or toxic effects from mycotoxins Fungi also generate certain volatile organic compounds
Fungi are plant-like organisms with cells with distinct nuclei surrounded by nuclear membranes, incapable of photosynthesis Fungi are decomposers of waste organisms and exist as yeast, mold, or mildew
A group of organisms formerly regarded a simple plants lacking chlorophyll but now classified in a separate kingdom They can either exist as single cells or make up a multicellular body called a mycelium, which consists of filaments known as hyphea Most fungi are either parasites or saprophytes (live of dead things) on other organisms
Plants that lack chlorophyll and derive their nourishment directly from other organisms (parasitic fungi) or from dead organic matter (saprophytic fungi) They include molds, yeasts, mildews, rusts, and mushrooms
Molds, mildews, yeasts, mushrooms, and puffballs, a group of organisms that lack chlorophyll and therefore are not photosynthetic They are usually nonmobile, filamentous, and multicellular (Source: Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center, 1990)
Group, at the kingdom level, in the classification of life Multicellular organisms that have a eukaryotic cell type, mitochondria, and a cell wall composed of chitin and other noncellulose polysaccharides
A group of often microscopic organisms lacking chlorophyll (green colouring); they grow from microscopic spores Many fungi cause plant diseases, such as rots, rusts, mildews and blights; some species of fungi attack wood or cause decay in buildings (Singular: fungus)
(Singular: Fungus) Molds, mildews, yeasts, mushrooms, and puffballs, a group of organisms lacking in chlorophyll (i e , are not photosynthetic) and which are usually non-mobile, filamentous, and multicellular Some grow in soil, others attach themselves to decaying trees and other plants whence they obtain nutrients Some are pathogens, others stabilize sewage and digest composted waste
Low forms of plants consisting mostly of microscopic threads (hyphae) that traverse wood in all directions dissolving out of the cell walls, materials they use for their own growth
Single-celled or multicellular organisms Fungi can be either opportunistic pathogens (such as aspergillosis, candidiasis, and cryptococcosis) that cause infections in healthy persons Fungi are also used for the development of antibiotics, antitoxins, and other drugs used to control various human diseases
Fungi are neither animals nor plants and are classified in a kingdom of their own Fungi include molds, yeasts, mushrooms, and puffballs In this document, the terms fungi and mold are used interchangeably Molds reproduce by making spores Mold spores waft through the indoor and outdoor air continually When mold spores land on a damp spot indoors, they may begin growing and digesting whatever they are growing on Molds can grow on virtually any organic substance, providing moisture and oxygen are present It is estimated that more than 1 5 million species of fungi exist
Microorganism that lacks chlorophyll They differ from bacteria by having genetic material arranged on chromosomes, and a membrane surrounding the nucleus Includes mushrooms, moulds, yeasts and rusts Many fungi are used in industry: in brewing, baking, to make antibiotics, vitamins and food proteins
A group of thallophytic plants of low organization, destitute of chlorophyll, in which reproduction is mainly accomplished by means of asexual spores, which are produced in a great variety of ways, though sexual reproduction is known to occur in certain Phycomycetes, or so-called algal fungi
Fungi belongs to the kingdom of heterotrophic single-celled, multinucleated, or multicellular organisms, including yeasts, molds, and mushrooms Previously classified in the plant kingdom, fungi are nonmotile, like plants, but lack the vascular tissues that form the true roots, stems, and leaves of plants Unlike algae or plants, fungi lack the chlorophyll necessary for photosynthesis and must therefore live as parasites or saprobes Typically they release digestive enzymes onto a food source, partially dissolving it to make the necessary organic or inorganic nutrients available Some fungi are pathogenic to humans and other animals Some molds, in particular, release toxic chemicals called mycotoxins that can result in poisoning or death
The kingdom of organisms which includes slime molds, mushrooms, smuts, rusts, mildews, molds, stinkhorns, puffballs, truffles, and yeasts All absorb food in solution directly through their cell walls and reproduce through spores None conduct photosynthesis
