Microbiology11 CardsCreated 3 months ago

This flashcard set reviews the major fungal phyla—Chytridiomycota, Mucoromycota, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota—focusing on their habitat, reproductive strategies (sexual and asexual), and defining structures like zoospores, asci, conidia, and basidiospores. Great for mycology and fungal taxonomy studies.

USMLE - Micro AntiMicrobials

These antibiotics — Penicillin, Methicillin, Ampicillin, Piperacillin, Cephalosporins, Aztreonam, and Imipenem — prevent bacterial cell wall formation by inhibiting peptidoglycan cross-linking, leading to cell lysis and death.

USMLE - Micro Viruses

Reassortment occurs when viruses with segmented genomes exchange genetic segments, creating new combinations. This can lead to rapid evolution, high-frequency recombination, and potentially global pandemics. A common example is the influenza virus.

Identification begins with the catalase test: catalase-negative indicates Streptococcus, catalase-positive indicates Staphylococcus. Staph aureus is coagulase-positive, while S. epidermidis (novobiocin-sensitive) and S. saprophyticus (novobiocin-resistant) are coagulase-negative.

Teleomorphic phase; the joining of 2 hyphae which makes gametangia-> becomes zygosporangium (zygospore)

Anamorphic phase; sporangium is produced that contains numerous haploid spores

For Phylum Ascomycota explain the following terms

  • ascospores

  • asci

  • macroconidia

  • microconidia

Phylum Ascomycota; conidiophore and septate hyphae;

they form sexual spores- ascospores in a sac called asci

the fungi also produce macroconidia (large multicelled) and microconidia (small, single celled)

For Phylum Basidomycota explain the following

what are they commonly known as

basidiospores and their location

hymenium

basidiocarp or basidiomata

Phylum Basidomycota- mushrooms

spores are called basidiospores and are located on the club like strucutres called basidi -> attached to a hymenium (the surface)

sexuals spores are sometimes held in basidiocarp or basidiomata (fruiting body)
