Question

Q12. Where and in what conditions do fungi grow?​

Answer 1

Fungi includes yeast and molds

Generally fungi grow at 25 degree centigrade temperature with humidity, thats why in rainy days our shoes, leather and papers get attacked by molds.

On the other hand yeast can grow at both 37 and 25 degree centrtigrade.

Diomorphic fungi like Blastomyces dermitidi , Histoplams capsulatum can grow at both temp and shows yeast like morphology at 37 degree.

They generally grow at a pH which is acidic 4–5 or lower in range.

Nutritional condition differes from fungi to fungi - for example certain fungi like Trichoderma sp and Aspergillus can produce Cellulase and can thus simply grow on paper or cellulosic waste,while as many lower fungi are difficult to grow in vitro.

Answer 2

Answer:

Conditions for best fungal growth :-

1. Temperature: 25- 30 degree celcius.
2. Humidity: high moist humid environment.
3. : high moist humid environment.pH: Moulds differ in their pH requirements. Most will grow well over the pH range 3-7. Some such as Aspergillus niger and Penicillium funiculosum can grow at pH 2 and below.
4. Nutrients: Nutrient requirements for moulds may vary from mould to mould. Some moulds may thrive well on substrates with high sugar or salt content. Some may prefer simple sugars while others have the ability to utilize complex sugars.
5. : Nutrient requirements for moulds may vary from mould to mould. Some moulds may thrive well on substrates with high sugar or salt content. Some may prefer simple sugars while others have the ability to utilize complex sugars.Light: Many moulds species grow well in the dark, but some prefer daylight or alternate light and darkness for them to produce spores.
6. : Nutrient requirements for moulds may vary from mould to mould. Some moulds may thrive well on substrates with high sugar or salt content. Some may prefer simple sugars while others have the ability to utilize complex sugars.
7. Light: Many moulds species grow well in the dark, but some prefer daylight or alternate light and darkness for them to produce spores.
8. Aeration: Nearly all moulds require air to grow.
