Bacteria can be either producer (chemoautotrophs) or consumers (heterotrophs) and even decomposers. Fungi Definition Fungi, singular fungus, are eukaryotes that are characterized by the presence of chitin in the cell wall. Common fungi include microscopic organisms like molds and yeasts and macroscopi...
By definition, functional food refers to food or food ingredients providing health benefits beyond basic nutrition (Colorado State University Extension 2023). The global functional mushroom market was then valued at USD 12.34 billion. Fermented food Fungi are beneficial to humans both industrially and...
What are the different types of fungi? The different types of fungi include- Zygomycetes, Basidiomycetes, Ascomycetes, and Deuteromycetes. Q3 Which kingdom is closely related to kingdom fungi? Kingdom fungi are closely related to the animal kingdom. This has been determined by phylogenetic stu...
Definition of allometry and the scaling of metabolic rate In biology, allometry is traditionally understood as the scaling of trait variation to body size (Bonner, 2011). This emphasis on body size relies on two main observations: First, living organisms vary in total body size during their ...
6. We hope the fungal economics space will inspire microbial ecologists to invest more into the definition of relevant functional strategies in soil, and more precisely define microbial functions that can (or cannot) be predicted based on trade-offs. These results also add an interesting mechanism...

The most commonly used definition of endophytic fungi is that of fungi inhabiting plant organs at some time in their life that can colonise internal tissues of plants without causing apparent harm to the host. Heartwood, defined as the central layers of wood tree containing nonliving cells and ...
Nonetheless CDIs, at least by our strict definition and at the taxonomic depth examined here, appear to be too rare for quantitative phylogeny. Although it has been argued that such macromolecular characters or “rare genomic changes” are relatively free of phylogenetic artifact [24, 25, 27],...
