Fungi are eukaryotic organisms that can exist as unicellular yeasts or multicellular molds and mushrooms. They have rigid cell walls made of chitin and reproduce both sexually through spores and asexually through budding or fragmentation. Yeasts are unicellular while molds are filamentous and made up of branching hyphae. Fungi play important roles in industries like food production as well as in biodegradation and antibiotic production. Medically important fungi are classified into four divisions: Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes, Zygomycetes, and Deuteromycetes.

Introduction,In some fungi ,true sexual cycle comprising of nuclear fusion and meiosis is absent.
These fungi derive the benefits of sexuality through a cycle know as parasexuaL cycle.
First Reported by- Gudio Pontecorvo and J.A.Roper(1952)
Parasexual cycle was reported in
Aspergillus nidulans,the imperfect stage of Emericella nidulans.
Since then parasexual cycle has been discovered not only in several members of Deutromycetes but also in fungi belonging to Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes.
DEFINETION - Parasexuality is defined as a cycle in which Plasmogamy, Karyogamy and Meiosis [Haploidization] take place in sequence but not at a specified time or at specified points in the life cycle of an organism.
Generally parasexual cycle occurs in those fungi in which true sexual cycle does not take place.
Parasexualcycle also know as Somatic recombination. PASEXUALITY ALSO REPORTED IN SOME ORGANISMS- Aspergillus nigar, Penicillium crysogenum, STEPS OF PARASEXUAL CYCLE - 1) ESTABLISHMENT OF HETEROKARYOSIS, 2) Formation of Heterozygous DIPLOIDS, 3) occasional mitotic crossing-over during multiplication of diploid nuclei, 4)occasional haplodization through aneuploidy , COMPARISION BETWEEN SEXUAL AND PARASEXUAL CYCLE, IMPORTANCE OF PARASEXUALITY, C0NCLUSION

Mycology is the branch of biology concerned with the study of fungi.
The word 'myco' is derived from the Greek word mýkēs meaning “mushroom, fungus”.
Heinrich Anton de Bary is the father of Mycology.
Fungi are eukaryotic organisms that include such as yeasts, moulds and mushrooms. These organisms are classified under kingdom fungi.
Fungi are diverse and widespread.
Described about general characters of fungi which include sexual and asexual reproduction with diagram, so it will be easy for undergraduates to understand the various concepts
Adenoviral conjunctivitis, also known as "pink eye is a common, self-limiting condition that typically is caused by adenovirus.
Adenoviruses can cause an array of clinical diseases, including conjunctivitis, respiratory disease, hemorrhagic cystitis and gastroenteritis.
Bacteria are unicellular, procaryotic microorganisms which have diverse shape size and structures. Bacteria are found almost everywhere on Earth. Even the human body is full of bacteria, and in fact is estimated to contain more bacterial cells than human cells. Most bacteria in the body are harmless, and some are even helpful. A relatively small number of species cause disease.
A microscope is an instrument used to observe very small organisms i.e. microorganisms. The microscope provides magnification and resolution which makes the image enlarged and fine. There are different types of microscopes ranging from simple to compound microscopes.
Mitochondria are membrane-bound cell organelles (mitochondrion, singular), known as the power house of the cell that generate most of the chemical energy needed to power the cell's biochemical reactions. Mitochondria generates most of the cell's supply of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), by a process called
“oxidative phosphorylation”.
Type II Hypersensitivity-Antibody mediated cytotoxic HypersensitivityAnup Bajracharya
Type II Hypersensitivity is antibody-mediated immune reaction in which antibodies (IgG or IgM) are directed against cellular or extracellular matrix antigens with the resultant cellular destruction, functional loss, or damage to tissues.
Dark-field microscopy is used to illuminate unstained samples causing them to appear bright against a dark background. This type of microscope contains a special condenser having a central blacked-out area.
Air pollution Basics for higher level school students - Undesirable and unwanted changes in the characteristics of air that are harmful to the health of humans and other living beings is air pollution.
Pentose phosphate pathway is an alternative pathway to glycolysis and TCA cycle for oxidation of glucose. It is a shunt of glycolysis. It is also known as hexose monophosphate (HMP) shunt or phosphogluconate pathway. It occurs in cytoplasm of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. While it involves oxidation of glucose, its primary role is anabolic rather than catabolic. It is an important pathway that generates precursors for nucleotide synthesis and is especially important in red blood cells (erythrocytes).
It is the catabolic process by which fatty acid molecules are broken down in the cytosol in prokaryotes and in the mitochondria in eukaryotes to generate acetyl-CoA.
Environmental impacts of coronavirus crisis, challenges aheadAnup Bajracharya
The worldwide disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in numerous impacts on the environment and the climate. There is reduction in carbon emissions, visibility clearance in the environment.
Convalescent plasma therapy is the treatment in which plasma that is removed from the blood of a person who has recovered from a disease is transfused into a person with the disease that fight against the causative agents and make patient safe from the diseased condition.
Acid fast staining is differential staining technique which differentiate bacteria into two group- acid fast bacteria and non acid bacteria. It used to identify acid-fast organisms such as members of the genus Mycobacterium .
When fresh liquid medium is inoculated with a given number of bacteria and incubated for sufficient period of time, it gives a characteristic growth pattern of bacteria.
If the bacterial population is measured periodically and log of number of viable bacteria is plotted in a graph against time, it gives a characteristic growth curve which is known as growth curve or growth cycle.
Growth of bacteria is affected by many factors such as nutrition concentration and other environmental factors.
Some of the important factors affecting bacterial growth are:
Nutrition concentration
Temperature
Gaseous concentration
pH
Ions and salt concentration

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

2. • Fungi are eukaryotic, heterotrophic,
unicellular to filamentous, spore bearing
organisms that reproduce sexually and
asexually.
3. General properties of fungi
1.They are eukaryotic; cells contain membrane
bound cell organelles including nuclei,
mitochondria, golgi apparatus, endoplasmic
reticulum, lysosomes etc.
2.They have a rigid cell wall which is made up
of chitin.
3. Cell membrane is made up of ergosterols.
4. 4. They lack chlorophyll and are therefore
chemoheterotrophs (require organic
compounds for both carbon and energy
sources) and not autotrophic.
5. Fungi are osmiotrophic; they obtain their
nutrients by absorption.
6. They obtain nutrients as saprophytes (live
off of decaying matter) or as parasites (live off
of living matter).
7. Typically reproduce asexually and/or
sexually by producing spores.
8. They grow either reproductively by budding
or non-reproductively by hyphal tip elongation.
9. Food storage is generally in the form of
lipids and glycogen.
5. Structure of fungi
There is much variation in the structure of
various fungal species.
For example, fungi include
• the unicellular yeasts,
• multicellular molds and
• the common mushrooms.
6. Yeast
• microscopic, unicellular fungi with a single nucleus and eukaryotic
organelles.
• oval or round in shape.
• reproduce asexually by a process of budding.
• In this process, a new cell forms at the surface of the original cell, enlarges,
and then breaks free to live independently.
7. Mold:-
The main body of mold is made up of
fine, branching threads called hyphae.
These hyphae intertwined with each
other to make up a tangled web called
the mycelium.
In some fungi hyphae is divided into cell
or compartment by septum.
Septum has a central pore which allows
the movement of cytoplasm from one
cell or compartment to another.
There are three types of hyphae among
fungi.
Coenocytic or non-septated hyphae
Septate hyphae with uninucleated cell
Septate hyphae with multinucleated cell
8. Reproduction in fungi
Fungi reproduce sexually and asexually by
spores.
Asexual reproduction occurs in the fungi
when spores form by mitosis.
These spores can be conidia,
sporangiospores, arthrospores (fragments
of hyphae), or chlamydospores (spores
with thick walls).
During sexual reproduction, compatible
nuclei unite within the mycelium and form
sexual spores.
Sexually opposite cells may unite within a
single mycelium, or different mycelia may
be required.
When the cells unite, the nuclei fuse and
form a diploid nucleus.
