Fungi (today)
Protists
Endosymbiosis
Molecular evidence that
both animals and fungi
diverged from a common
ancestor, likely a colonial
protist

Zygomycetes
From Outlaw lecture
Notice that, based on
molecular data, fungi are
more closely related to
animals than plants
Zygomycete
Basidiomycete
Ascomycete
Similar
* Formation of spores within
zygosporangium.
* No cross walls between cells.
Formation of spores in
ascus.
Formation of spores on
basidium.

Modified from Outlaw lecture
Some important characteristics of fungi
• Eukaryotes
• Cell walls of chitin (not found in plants, found in animals)
• Heterotrophic absorption
• Secretion of digestive enzymes
• Active transport
Fungi secrete enzymes (red
symbol), which break complex
molecules into smaller building
blocks, such as simple sugars and
amino acids (yellow symbols). The
simple molecules are absorbed by the
fungus.

Absorption is the Fungal Mode of Nutrition

Some important characteristics of fungi
• Eukaryotes
• Cell walls of chitin (not found in plants, found in animals)
• Heterotrophic absorption
• Secretion of digestive enzymes
• Active transport
• Filamentous hyphae (some unicellular forms)
Rhizopus (zygomycete) on strawberries
Filamentous hyphae
Mycelium - mass of hyphae
Growth occurs at tips of hyphae
Some have partitions called septa
May be specialized
e.g. rhizoids anchor to
substrate and haustoria
absorb from living cells
