Mastigomycotina-handout.pptx
1. Classification of Eumycota
True fungi are grouped into five subdivision based on their
method of reproduction.
1. Mastigomycotina
2. Zygomycotina
3. Ascomycotina
4. Basidiomycotina
5. Deuteromycotina

2. • Key to classes of Mastigomycotina
I. Zoospores uniflagellate (monoplanetic)
a. Flagellum posterior, whiplash type -
Chytridiomycetes
b. Flagellum anterior, tinsel type -
Hyphochytridiomycetes
II. Zoospores biflagellate (diplanetic)
a. Flagella unequal, both of whiplash type, thallus
plasmodial– plasmodiophoromycetes
b. Flagellum rarely equal, anterior flagellum tinsel
type, posterior flagellum whiplash, cell wall
cellulosic - Oomycetes.
3. • Vegetative Structure of Synchytrium endobioticum
The vegetative body of Synchytrium consists of
minute endobiotic holocarpic thallus, represented
by naked uniflagellate zoospore with whiplash
flagellum.
• Reproduction in S. endobioticum:
Synchytrium endobioticum reproduces both asexually
and sexually. Vegetative reproduction is absent.
During reproduction, the entire thallus transforms
into a reproductive unit i.e., holocarpic.
4. • Asexual Reproduction:
• Asexual reproduction generally occurs during
favourable condition, i.e., in spring season. minute
naked uninucleate and uniflagellate zoospores (Fig.
4.17U) are released from the resting sporangium
• The zoospores are capable of swimming for about
two hours. After coming in contact either with the
potato ‘eye’ or stolon or young tuber (Fig. 4.17B),
they come to rest and withdraw their flagella (Fig.
4.17C). The content of the zoospore cyst enters into
the host cell through the wall by minute pore in
amoeboid movement, keeping the cyst membrane
outside (Fig. 4.17D).

9. Key to orders of Oomycetes
I. Zoospores invariably formed in the sporangium.
diplanetic, monoplanetic or aplanetic
(a) Holocapric or eucarpic, hyphae when present
lack constrictions - Saprolegniales
b) Eucarpic hyphae with condtrictions-Leptomitales
II. Zoospores formed within the sporangium or a
sporangial vesicle ; monoplanetic and reniform
(a) Holocarpic - Lagenidiales
(b)(b) Encarpic - Peronosporales
11. Class : Oomycetes
General characteristics
They range form unicellular, holocarpic, endobiotic parasite having well
developed mycelium
They produce laterally biflagellate, reniform zoospore
They contain cellulose in their cell wall
They show oogamous type of sexual reproduction usually involving a club
shaped antheridium and globose oogonium containing one or more non mobile
female gametes called oosphere or egg. The male gametes fuse with female
gamete or egg resulting in thick walled zygote called oospore.

15. Zygomycotina
1. Hyphae are coenocytic (non-septate).
2. The hyphae are filled or lined with continuous multinucleated
protoplasm.
3. This includes both parasitic and saprophytic species.
3. Sexual gametangia are similar
4. Sexual reproduction is by conjugation (fusing) hyphae from two
different strains, followed by plasmogamy, karyogamy, meiosis
and then the production of Zygospores.
5. For example: Rhizopus

18. Rhizopus (Black bread mold )
It is a saprophytic fungus, which can grow on moist bread,
stored fruits, vegetables, and synthetic nutritive media.
Sexual reproduction by the production of zygospores.
Asexual reproduction by the production of sporangispores
19. Vegetative structure
• The mycelium consists of branched
non-septate hyphae, which grow
creeping upon the substratum called
stolon
• Rhizoids for absorption of the
necessary food material.
• Sporangiophores with a single
sporangium.
