Eukaryotic microbes consists of: protists, animals, fungi and plants.

In this post, we will be looking at fungi (mostly molds and yeast), protozoan, and helminths.

Fungi are organized into two categories:

Ascomycotina (sac-like fungi such as penicillium, aspergillus, yeast) and zygomycotina (molds such as rhizopus stolonifer)

Fungal Anatomy

Yeast: Candida albicans

Yeast

asexual reproduction- budding

asexual reproduction

sporangiospores (sac) zygomyces

chlamydospores (walled in)

conidiospores (no sac) ascomyces

Mold: Rizopus zygospore. Zygospore is where the cytoplasm of two mating strain fuses.

Mold: Ascomycotina: Aspergillus conidiophores

Molds: Penicillium: Conidiophore and Conidia
