fixation. Pea is liable to be attack by many bacterial, fungal, viral, nematode diseases in addition to physiological disorder. However, fungal diseases, especially rust is considered one of the major destructive diseases affecting the crop yield (Hagedron, 1984 and Kraft, and Pfleger, 2001), especially in the north and middle parts of the Delta in Egypt and several countries in the world (Abada et al., 1997; Gupta and Shayam, 1998 and Parilli et al., 2015). The fungus Uromyces pisi is a heteroecious

Fungi Lab Analysis Background Information: Fungi are nonphotosynthetic and must absorb nutrients from surrounding organic matter. Most fungi obtain their food from dead organic matter and thus considered saprophytes, however, a relatively small percentage called parasites derive their food from other living organisms. Fungi may be unicellular (yeasts) or multicellular (mushrooms) and their cell walls usually contain chitin. They may produce sexually or asexually by means of spores. They are major

Fungi are a group of living organisms which are classified in their own kingdom. This means they are not animals, plants, or bacteria. Unlike bacteria, which have simple prokaryotic cells, fungi have complex eukaryotic cells like animals and plants. Fungi are found throughout the Earth including on land, in the water, in the air, and even in plants and animals. They vary widely in size from microscopically small to the largest organisms on Earth at several square miles large. There are more than

Increasing trend in Non albicans Cutaneous Candidiasis: Implications in treatment strategies Introduction: Cutaneous candidiasis is a secondary infection of the skin (body folds) and nails in predisposed patients.1 The disease involvement may be localised or generalised to the skin or nails.2 The clinical manifestations of Candidiasis are of three types: mucocutaneous, cutaneous, and systemic.3 The spectrum of Cutaneous candidiasis (CC): includes intertrigo

staphylococci culture” with a ring around the mold had drawn attention to Fleming. Stated from “Not-So-Dumb-Luck”, “. . . he found that the ring was bacteria-free, and that the mold was a rare spore called Penicillium notatum”. Since Fleming had a mycology lab downstairs and wasn’t the tidiest of experimenters, the mold most likely originated from the lab below and may have interacted with one of the cultures of the dishes. It was realized that the bacteria in the dish was killed by the mold, thus

time. Upon his return to his laboratory he found mold had grown in the petri dishes he had left out. One of whom contained the rare spore Penicillium notatum that had probably wafted up into his lab through the air currents from the down-stairs mycology lab. Dr. Fleming noticed a ring around the mold, and it was 100% bacteria free! Curiosity urged him onward, as he grew a pure culture of the mold and discover that it killed a great deal of disease-causing bacteria. He would go on to name the

As the growth of fungi were observed and identified according to the morphological characteristic, then microscopic observation is commonly used in identify the structure by observing the mycelia and spore produced. In order to do the microscopic observation, there are several way can be use in obtaining the characteristics of the fungi which is by Slide Culture Preparations and Cellotape Flag Preparations. 4.3.2.1 Slide Culture Preparations In order to accurately identify many fungi it is essential

Fungi: Yeasts and Molds Medical mycology is concerned with the study and identification of pathogenic yeasts and molds, or collectively, fungi. Yeasts are a heterogenous, unicellular fungi. They are much larger than bacterial cells and reproduce by budding. The identification of the genus is found through morphology, whereas, biochemical test can differentiate the various species. Molds are multicellular, higher forms of fungi. It is composed of hyphae and melisma which gives it its mat-like

conservation work done by Rawnsley, Potter was galvanized to begin her own powerful conservational work. She saved traditional and natural practices. Moreover, his influence appears in her scientific work. Potter’s affinity for nature, specifically mycology, grew because of Ransley. He encouraged her illustrations and Potter used her artistic skills to depict accurate drawings of fungi that modern scientists continue to reference. His early encounter with Potter impassioned her to blaze her own path

Growing up, I visited my father's hometown in Mexico four times every year. During those visits, I learned how to feed different livestock, gather crops, and remove kernels from corn cobs. I take great pride in how my grandfather, Ermilio, produced enough crops to not only feed our family but to give in abundance to his community. It was there in the small town Corte Primero that my interest was first sparked in sustainable agriculture. I came to Texas A&M to pursue my interest by studying Bioenvironmental
