Although soils provide a number of ecosystem services, which are essential to human life and for achievement of the SDG, they have not been explicitly considered in the context of SDG (Bouma, 2014). In particular, soils provide the basis for nutrition of a growing global population (Lal, ...
A biologist is in the process of classifying a newly discovered fungus. The observed characteristics include chitin in the cell walls and flagellated spores. To which group does the organism most likely belong? Briefly describe chara...
To bypass the encounter with immune cells, fungi havedeveloped a “hiding” strategy by covering β-1,3-glucan and chitin with different molecules(Figure 1). Although different covers have evolved in different fungal pathogens, they all converge to the same result: shielding of PAMPs. How does ...

Fungus or fungi are a large group of organisms that are eukaryotic in nature and contain molds and yeasts. They contain chitin in their cell wall and are also heterotrophic in nature; these are some characteristics that distinguish them from other organisms....
