Question

what is ascomycetes in detail

Answer 1

Ascomycota is a division or phylum of the kingdom Fungi that, together with theBasidiomycota, form the subkingdomDikarya. Its members are commonly known as the sac fungi or ascomycetes. They are the largest phylum of Fungi, with over 64,000species.[2] The defining feature of this fungal group is the "ascus" (from Greek: ἀσκός(askos), meaning "sac" or "wineskin"), a microscopic sexual structure in which nonmotile spores, called ascospores, are formed. However, some species of the Ascomycota are asexual, meaning that they do not have a sexual cycle and thus do not form asci or ascospores. Previously placed in the Deuteromycota along with asexual species from other fungal taxa, asexual (oranamorphic) ascomycetes are now identified and classified based on morphological orphysiological similarities to ascus-bearingtaxa, and by phylogenetic analyses of DNAsequences.[3][4]

Answer 2

Ascomycota are the worst the fungal enemies because, out of their 33,000 named species, there are a great number of pathogenic fungi; which act as parasites to many organisms Even the infamous genus of pathogenic fungi, Candida, (responsible for intestinal issues, diseases in humans, and yeast infections), belong to the ascomycota group. On top of this, some of these pathogenic fungi exhibit resistance to standard antifungal agents, making their treatment all the more dreadful.
