Innate immunity is the natural defence system of the body which is present from birth. It gives immediate protection against invading pathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites. It acts in a non-specific manner and does not require previous exposure to the antigen. Innate immunity is the first and primary defence system of the body … Read more
Chytridiomycota is a sub-group of zoosporic organisms from the kingdom Fungi. They are also known as chytrids. Named after the Ancient Greek word khutridion, which means “little pot”, it refers to the structure that contains unreleased zoospores. The earliest diverging fungal lineages are the Chytrids. Their membership in kingdom Fungi can be seen with chitin cell wall, posterior whiplash flagellum and absorptive nutrition. They also use glycogen to store energy and produce lysine through the a-amino acid (AAA).
Zygomycota or zygote Zygomycota, also known as zygote is a previous division or phylum belonging to the kingdom of Fungi.
The Ascomycota sac fungi is monophyletic and comprises about 75% of the described fungi. It comprises the majority of fungi that mix together with algae to create lichens as well as the vast majority of fungi do not have morphological evidence for sexual reproduction. Among the Ascomycota are some famous fungi: Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the yeast of commerce and foundation of the baking and brewing industries (not to mention molecular developmental biology), Penicillium chrysogenum, producer of penicillin, Morchella esculentum, the edible morel, and Neurospora crassa, the “one-gene-one-enzyme” organism.
Epidermophyton floccosum is a type of filamentous fungus which causes nail and skin infection in human beings. The anthropophilic dermatophyte may cause diseases like tinea pedis (athlete’s foot) and tinea cruris, tinea corporis and even onychomycosis. The diagnostic methods for fungal infection are physical examination, testing for culture, and molecular examination. Treatment for fungal infections … Read more

Classification of Sporozoa Characteristics of Sporozoa Motility of Sporozoa Feeding of Sporozoa Types of Spores Sporozoans, a group of parasitic protozoa, can be classified into four categories based … Read more
What is Zooplankton? What exactly are Zooplanktons? Zooplankton, a subset of the broader planktonic community, are heterotrophic organisms that inhabit both freshwater and marine environments. The term “plankton” encompasses a diverse array of organisms that float or drift within aquatic realms. Among these, zooplankton are distinguished by their heterotrophic nature, signifying their reliance on external … Read more
