Examples of ascomycete in the following topics:
-
- Many ascomycetes are of commercial importance.
- Other ascomycetes parasitize plants and animals, including humans.
- Ascomycetes not only infest and destroy crops directly, they also produce poisonous secondary metabolites that make crops unfit for consumption.
- Filamentous ascomycetes produce hyphae divided by perforated septa, allowing streaming of cytoplasm from one cell to the other.
- The lifecycle of an ascomycete is characterized by the production of asci during the sexual phase.
-
- Molecular analysis shows that the closest group to the deuteromycetes is the ascomycetes.
- In fact, some species, such as Aspergillus, which were once classified as imperfect fungi, are now classified as ascomycetes.
-
- Based on these observations, they determined that Saccharomyces cerevisiae underwent a whole-genome duplication soon after its evolutionary split from Kluyveromyces, a genus of ascomycetous yeasts.
-
- The morel mushroom is an ascomycete much appreciated for its delicate taste.
-
- (a) Ringworm presents as a red ring on skin; (b) Trichophyton violaceum, shown in this bright field light micrograph, causes superficial mycoses on the scalp; (c) Histoplasma capsulatum is an ascomycete that infects airways and causes symptoms similar to influenza.
