Mushrooms are fungi as is the mould that forms the blue or green veins in some types of cheese. Yeast is another type of fungi and is the necessary ingredient to make most types of bread. Lastly‚ parasites may be protozoa‚ yeasts or multi-cellular organisms such as fungi or worms. They live in or on a host to obtain nourishment without providing any

Trichoderma spp. are most prevalent culturable fungi that are present in soils and diverse habitats. They are suited to remediate oil-polluted environments. Specific fungus possesses biodegration potential to used oil like crude oil (Obire and Putheti‚ 2009). Morgan (2011)‚ Trichoderma has been shown to establish and proliferate on a range of soilless substrates‚ and colonization is greater on a growing medium. As noted by Obire and Putheti (2009)‚ Fungi follow a pattern of growth and development

Understand the causes of infection. 1.1 Identify the differences between bacteria‚ viruses‚ fungi and parasites. Bacteria – a single cell micro-organism that gets its nutrition from its surroundings and can only be seen under a microscope. Viruses - are disease producing agents far smaller than bacteria. They are enclosed in a protein coating which makes them more difficult to destroy. Fungi – are included in the plant kingdom but are quite different from green plants. The basic unit of a

athlete’s foot when you come in contact with the fungus and it begins to grow on your skin. Fungi commonly grow on or in the top layer of human skin and may or may not cause infections.

Paclitaxel (PTX) Paclitaxel (PTX)‚ a member of taxane family‚ it’s an effective antineoplastic agent for treatment of many forms cancer. The success of PTX in these diseases due to a broad spectrum of antitumor activity‚ efficacy in terms of dense disseminated tumours and a unique mechanism of action. This microtubule-stabilizing drug selectively disrupts the microtubule forces‚ which induces mitotic arrest that leads to cell death(Bernabeu et al. 2017). A brief run through of its development from

Section One : In the discipline known as taxonomy‚ scientists classify organisms and assign each organism a universally accepted name. The first part of the scientific name—in this case‚Ursus—is the genus to which the organism belongs. Agenus(JEE-nus; plural: genera‚ JEN-ur-uh) is a group of closely related species. Linnaeus’s hierarchical system of classification includes seven levels. They are—from smallest to largest—species‚ genus‚ family‚ order‚ class‚ phylum‚ and kingdom
