Question

10. Disjunctor cell occurs in chain of conidia in which of the following genus
a. Mucor
b. Albugo
c. Cercospora
d. Puccinia​

Answer 1

Fungi of the genus Penicillium, which are used to make the antibiotic penicillin and to flavor certain cheeses, produce conidia, as shown in Figure below. Conidia on the conidophores of a Phialophora verrucosa fungus. The trunk-like structure holding the conidia is the conidiophore

Answer 2

Ascomycota is a monophyletic group (it contains all descendants of one common ancestor). Previously placed in the Deuteromycota along with asexual species from other fungal taxa, asexual (or anamorphic) ascomycetes are now identified and classified based on morphological or physiological similarities to ascus-bearing taxa, and by phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequences.

The ascomycetes are of particular use to humans as sources of medicinally important compounds, such as antibiotics, for fermenting bread, alcoholic beverages and cheese. Penicillium species on cheeses and those producing antibiotics for treating bacterial infectious diseases are examples of ascomycetes.

Many ascomycetes are pathogens, both of animals, including humans, and of plants.
