A hypha consists of one or more cells surrounded by a tubular cell wall.In most fungi, hyphae are divided into cells by internal cross-walls called "septa" (singular septum).
Basidiomycota (/ b ə ˌ s ɪ d i. oʊ m aɪ ˈ k oʊ t ə /) [2] is one of two large divisions that, together with the Ascomycota, constitute the subkingdom Dikarya (often referred to as the "higher fungi") within the kingdom Fungi.
Molecular neuroscience is a branch of neuroscience that examines the biology of the nervous system with molecular biology, molecular genetics, protein chemistry and related methodologies (ie. concerning neurotransmitters moving via physiology of synapses etc) Neurochemistry; Nutritional neuroscience; Neuropeptide [ also see Neuropharmacology above]
This definition is based on that of “biome,” the biotic and abiotic factors of given environments. Others in the field limit the definition of microbiome to the collection of genes and genomes of members of a microbiota. It is argued that this is the definition of metagenome, which combined with the environment constitutes the microbiome.
Microbial intelligence (known as bacterial intelligence) is the intelligence shown by microorganisms.This includes complex adaptive behavior shown by single cells, and altruistic or cooperative behavior in populations of like or unlike cells.
Dark septate endophytes have been found in the subantarctic, boreal coniferous forests in Canada, temperate and boreal forests in Northern and Central Europe, exotic pine plantations in New Zealand, [3] temperate grasslands, epiphytic plants in tropical rain forests, alpine environments, and semi-arid environments.
In the 1980s microbial phylogenetics went into its golden age, as the techniques for sequencing RNA and DNA improved greatly. [7] [8] For example, comparison of the nucleotide sequences of whole genes was facilitated by the development of the means to clone DNA, making possible to create many copies of sequences from minute samples.
Cryptococcus is a genus of fungi in the family Cryptococcaceae that includes both yeasts and filamentous species.The filamentous, sexual forms or teleomorphs were formerly classified in the genus Filobasidiella, while Cryptococcus was reserved for the yeasts.
