Characteristics of Fungi :
Eukaryotic Heterotrophic Produce exoenzymes Reproduce by means of spores Both sexual (meiotic) and asexual (mitotic) spores may be produced, depending on the species & conditions Typically not motile, although a few (e.g. Chytrids) have motile phase

characteristics ..
Vegetative body may be unicellular (yeast) or compound of microscopic threads called hyphae Cell walls are composed of mostly chitin Fungal cell membranes have a unique sterol (ergosterol)

Many fungi are very useful to humans : yeasts-- baking and brewing antibiotics--- e.g. penicillin & cephalosporin other drugs-- e.g. cyclosporin organic acids -- e.g. citric acid in Coke is produced by an Aspergillus steroids and hormones--- e.g. the pilli certain stinky cheeses-- e.g. blue cheese, Roquefort and Camembert

Four major phyla of Fungi, based on the method of producing sexual spores:
Chytridiomycota sexual and asexual spores motile, have posterior flagellated gametes. Meiospores with one flagellum produced in zoosporangia (zoospores) Predominantly aquatic, and not terrestrial. Some are unicellular, some coenocytic, and still others produce a mycelium much like other fungi, eg : Allomyces Zygomycota sexual spores are thick walled resting spores called zygospores, eg : Rhizopus stolonifer Ascomycotaspores (ascospores) borne internally in a sac called an ascus, eg : Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Neurospora
Basidiomycotaspores (basidiospores) borne externally on a club-shaped structure called a basidium, eg : Agaricus campestis.

There are also two conventional groups which are not recognized as formal taxonomic groups : Deuteromycota (fungi imperfecti) includes all fungi which have lost the ability to reproduce sexually, have no known sexual state in their life cycle, eg : Penicillium, Aspergillus Lichen not a single organism, a symbiotic association between a fungus (Ascomycete or Basidiomycete) and a Cyanobacterium or a chlorophyte (green alga). Often the fungal partner is unable to grow without the algal symbiont, making it difficult to classify these organisms.
