This document discusses the physiology of fungi. It covers their nutrition and metabolism, noting that most fungi are saprophytes that feed through absorption after excreting enzymes to break down food. It also discusses fungal growth, noting the four basic phases and factors like nutrients, temperature, and pH that influence it. The document outlines both asexual and sexual reproduction in fungi. Asexual reproduction occurs through mechanisms like fission, budding, and spore production. Sexual reproduction involves the fusion of compatible nuclei through various processes like gamete fusion or gametangial contact and copulation.
Fungi is a group of eukaryotic non-phototropic organisms with rigid cell walls, that includes unicellular yeasts and multicellular molds. These slides will provide you the basics of fungi, general properties , reproduction and types of fungi.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

1. 3.1. Nutrition and metabolism
3.2. Reproduction
3.3. Growth
3.4. The physical environment and growth
Unit -4. Fungal Physiology
2. Nutrition and Metabolism
• Most fungi are saprophytes.
• live as decomposers and symbionts.
• Excrete Exoenzymes, powerful hydrolytic enzymes, break down
food----into simpler compounds----absorb and use.
• Fungi feed by absorption of nutrients.
• Parasitic fungi absorb nutrients from the cells of living hosts.
• Glycogen is the primary storage polysaccharide.
• Most are aerobic.
• can use a variety of carbon sources to derive cellular energy.
• Simple molecules (e.g., glucose) easily diffuse through the
membrane/cell wall.
3. Nutrition and Metabolism cont.
• Soluble carbohydrates must enter hyphae by diffusion, and
this is followed by active uptake across the fungal
membrane.
• Most fungal carbohydrate metabolism is via glycolysis and
the tricarboxylic acid cycle.
5. 3.3. Growth
• Hyph al Growth- predominantly grow by the process of hyphal chain
elongation (e.g., elongation at the tip, also called apical growth) and
branching.
• NB: The length of a hyphal chain depends on the growth environment. If
left undisturbed, as on an agar surface, the chain can become quite
long.
7. 3.4. The physical environment and growth
• The concentration and available nutrients in the
medium, temperature , pH, oxygen and osmotic
potential are determines the growth of fungi.
8. Reproduction
Asexual reproduction-occurs by several mechanisms.
• Fission / Transverse fission.
• Budding.
• Direct spore production.
• Hyphal fragmentation-component cells behave as
arthrospores or chlamydiospores and oidia (if enveloped
in thick cell wall before separation).
• Sporangiospores are produced in sporangium (sac) at
the end of an aerial hypha (sporangiophore).
• Conidiospores are unenclosed spores produced at the tip
or on the sides of aerial hypha.
• Blastospores are produced when a vegetative cell buds
off.
12. Sexual reproduction
• Involves the union of compatible nuclei.
• Some fungi are self-fertilizing (male and female gametes produced
on the same mycelium (homothallic/ monoecious), while others
require outcrossing between different but sexually compatible
mycelia (heterothallic).
• Zygote formation proceeds by one of several mechanisms.
• Fusion of gametes .
• Fusion of gamete-producing bodies (gametangia) .
• Fusion of hyphae .
• Sometimes there is immediate fusion of nuclei and cytoplasm;
however, more common is a delayed fusion of nuclei, resulting in the
formation of a cell with two haploid nuclei (dikaryotic stage).
• Zygotes can develop into spores (zygospores, ascospores, or
basidiospores); spores are used for identification purposes and
also aid fungal dissemination.
Conti.
13. Sexual fusion in fungi is of different types, as follows
A. PLANOGAMETIC COPULATION
. Here motile gametes called planogametes undergo
fusion.
•
14. B. GAMETANGIAL CONTACT
• Here, gamete bearing structures called gametangia come
closer to each other and develop a fertilisation tube through
which the male gamete migrates into the female
gametangium.
• Eg. : Phytophthora infestans-potato blight, British,1845;ireland,
obligate parasite, cellulase, haustorium.
15. C. GAMETANGIAL COPULATION - the gametangia fuse with each
other, lose their identity and develop into a zygospore.
Eg.: Mucor, Rhizopus
16. D. SPERMATISATION- In some fungi like Puccinia, tiny unicellular spore like
structures called spermatia are formed. They get transferred to female
gametangia through various agencies.
E. SOMATOGAMY-In examples like Agaricus, fusion occurs between two
somatic cells and involves only plasmogamy. This results in the formation of
dikaryotic hyphae. Hence, the process is called dikaryotization.
