●● Direct germination
Answer: germination by hyphal growth
●● Indirect germination
Answer: germination by zoospore formation
●● Antheridium
Answer: "male" part of oomycete sexual reproduction
●● Plasmopora viticola
Answer: fungus that causes the disease Grape Downy Mildew
●● Obligate pathogen
Answer: The pathogen can only complete their development on a living
host.
Ex. Rusts
●● Obligate biotroph
,Answer: pathogens that extract nutrients only from living plant tissues
and cannot grow apart from their hosts.
●● whiplash flagella
Answer: type of flagellum with no hair-like structures
●● tinsel flagella
Answer: type of flagellum with many hair-like structures attached
●● germ theory
Answer: the theory that all contagious diseases are caused by
microorganisms
●● peptidoglycan
Answer: main wall polymer of bacteria
●● penicillin
Answer: antibiotic produced naturally by certain blue molds
mode of action: it prevents the cross-linking of small peptide chains in
peptidoglycan.
●● cephalosporin
,Answer: one of several broad spectrum antibiotic substances obtained
from fungi and related to penicillin
similar mode of action as penicillin; it affects the peptidoglycan
●● griseofulyin
Answer: fungistatic antibiotic, that is it will inhibit the fungal growth
and does not kill fungi; it is not fungicidal
effective against fungal infections of hair, nail, and sking
Mode of Action: inhibits microtubule dynamics
●● fusic acid
Answer:
●● cilofungin
Answer: a semi-synthetic antibiotic
developed to combat Candida albicans
●● cyclosporine
Answer: immuno-modulator (depresses active immune system)
, helpful for diabetics to free them from insulin injections
prevents rejection from transplants
●● lovastatin
Answer: inhibits cholesterol synthesis by blocking the action of an
Enzyme HMG-CoA redcutase
●● secondary metabolite
Answer: products of metabolism that are not essential for normal
growth, development or reproduction of an organism.
●● mycotoxin
Answer: A secondary metabolite produced by fungus that is toxic to
humans and/or animals
●● turkey-x disease
Answer: the disease that caused 100,000 turkeys to die and mycotoxins
to be discovered.
●● aflatoxin
Answer: Aspergillus flavus
