Document Summary
Microsporida: used to be classified as protists, unicellular obligate intracellular parasites, only grow and replicate inside the host cell, completely take over the host cell, smallest eukaryotic genome. Blastocladiomycota: a haplodiplontic life cycle (has both haploid and diploid multicellular forms) Lichens- obligate, mutualistic relationship between fungus and trees: fungus protects partner, partner gives nutrients (photosynthesis products) to fungus, can be found in harsh artic conditions, e. g. Mycorrhizae- facultative mutualistic relationship between plant roots and fungi: very common fungi aids in absorption of mineral nutrients from soil, plant provides sugars to fungus, fungus may grow around or through plant cells, e. g. Leaf cutter ants and fungi-obligate mutualistic relationship: ants cut and carry leaves from trees to colony, feed leaves to fungus, eat fungus, domesticated fungus - gardening or. Farming : candida albicans, causes yeast infections and oral thrush, associated with lowered immune function, e. g.
