Question

what are slime moulds? give its economic importance

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Slime molds feed on microorganisms that live in any type of dead plant material. They contribute to the decomposition of dead vegetation, and feed on bacteria, yeasts, and fungi. For this reason, slime molds are usually found in soil, lawns, and on the forest floor, commonly on deciduous logs.

Slime molds have no direct economic importance. Slime molds are fungi in the class Myxomycetes. These are cosmopolitan organisms that feed on bacteria, protozoa, and other tiny organisms. As is the case with other fungi, slime molds reproduce by spores.
