Bacteria are unicellular and ultra-microscopic organisms‚ yet they play an important role in nature. They are of tremendous importance to man. They play an important role in agriculture and medicine and are the basis of many industries. Some are beneficial to man directly or indirectly‚ others are very harmful as they cause various plant and animal diseases. Bacteria are considered as our friends and foes due to their beneficial and harmful activities. Their economic importance can be studied under

poor soils. Due to the fact that this is a symbiotic relationship‚ both the fungus and the plant benefit from this interaction. Since the plants are aboveground‚ it is often easier to see the benefits of this association for the plant‚ but the fungus also takes advantage of this partnership. The mycorrhizae aid the plant with growth‚ yield‚ improved fitness‚ increase the root absorption area of nutrients‚ while the fungus receives carbon from the associated plant (7). This is an important interaction

The Effects of the Mychorrizal Inoculum‚ Rhizophagus Irregularis‚ on the Growth of the Rapid Grow Radish‚ Brassica rapa ABSTRACT Mycorrhizae can be described as a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and a plant where both the fungus and the plant benefit from this interaction. Endomycorrhizae and ectomycorrhizae are the two main types of mycorrhizae that produce the same overall results‚ but with different fungal characteristics. This study examines the effects of mycorrhizae on the growth

To diagnose ringworm‚ a physician scrapes off portions of the affected areas and examines them under a microscope. If a fungus is present‚ a characteristic type of growth will be evident. Some forms of ringworm of the scalp may be diagnosed by means of an ultraviolet light‚ which causes certain types of fungi to glow with a

Fungi occur in two basic growth forms or stages: (a) A unicellular or yeast form which is defined morphologically‚ as a single-celled fungus that reproduces by simple budding to form blastoconidia. Colonies are usually moist or mucoid. Yeast-like fungi may be basidiomycetes‚ such as Cryptococcus neoformans or ascomycetes such as Candida albicans. A filamentous or mould form which is a

Jaren Urbina Post Harvesting Onion Basic Storage & Handling Tips for Dry Bulb Onions: Always handle onions with care. Do not drop onions as this often causes bruising and internal decay. Bagged or boxed onions should be stored at least one foot away from walls and other pallets to allow proper air movement. Keep stacks of bags or boxes at five feet or less. Store onions in a cool‚ dry‚ well-ventilated area. Maintain storage temperature of 45-55°F. Do not wrap onions in plastic or store
