Life cycle of Aspergillus
DR. RACHANA CHOUDHARY
Asstt. Prof. Department of Microbiology
Shri Shankaracharya Mahavidyalaya, Junwani,Bhilai (Durg).
CLASSIFICATION/SYSTEMIC
POSITION
Division : Mycota
Sub division : Eumycotina
Class :Ascomycetes
sub-class : Euascomycetidae
Order :Aspergillales
Family :Aspergillaceae
Genus : Aspergillus
OCCURRENCE
Saprophytic fungus.
There are 200 species of Aspergillus.
Grows on decaying vegetable.
On fatty media such as butter and ghee.
On starchy media such as bread and rice.
On preserved food such as jams and jellies.
Also found on rotting oranges and other fruits.
APPEARANCE
Greenish and Smoky Patches along with Mucor,
Rhizopus & Penicillium on moist bread.
Other common shades are Yellow, Black, and Blue.
Mostly appear in the conodial stage
(imperfect stage).
Very few produce cleistothecia (perfect stage).
Cultural Characteristics
• Cottony appearance; initially white to yellow
and then turning black The reverse is white to
yellow.
• Potato dextrose agar at 25°C is initially white,
which quickly becomes black with conidial
production. The reverse is pale yellow and
growth may produce radial fissures in the agar.
• Malt Extract Agar – an incubation for 7 days
at 25ºC and 37ºC producing slightly brown
colonies smooth-walled colonies of conidia.
• Czapek Yeast Agar – after 5 days of
incubation at 25ºC and 37ºC, they produce
black colonies with wooly smooth-walled
colonies of conidia.
MYCELIUM
Well developed structures.
Made up of interwoven mass, branched and
septate hyphae.
Hyphae are branched and form mat on the
substratum.
Some of the hyphae lie superficially upon the
substratum and other penetrate deeply to
absorb food and for mycelium.
REPRODUCTION
1. VEGETATIVE REPRODUCTION
2. ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
3. SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
VEGETATIVE REPRODUCTION
• BY FRAGMENTATION
ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION
Conidiophores
Cells vigorously grow
and mycelium become
thick walled.
Thick walled t shaped
cells called foot cell.
Each t cell produce erect
branch called
conidiopores.
Length of conidiophores is around 2.5mm.
Swells at the tip and form globose called
vesicle.
Lumen of vesicle is continuous with upper
part of conidiopores.
From the surface of vesicle tubular cells grows
outwords called strigmata or phialides.
Phialides cover the whole surface of
vesicle.
DEVELOPMENT OF STERIGMETA/
PHIALIDES
By dissolution of cell wall material thin
tubular area formed.
Cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondria and other
organelles migrate from vesicle to sterigmata.
In maturity stage sterigmata cut off from
vesicle from basal septum.
ABSTRICTIONS OF CONIDIA
Sterigmata are uninucleate
Nucleus divide by mitosis to form two
daughter nuclei
From two one migrates to tip of the sterigmata to form
first conidium
First conidium is cut off by basal septum at the
sterigmata apex.
By fragmentation fungus produce asexual spores
known as conidia
Later develop second
conidium in same manner.
This series of events
repeated.
Thus sterigmata continue to
grow conidia one below to
another.
Consequently chain of
conidia is formed at the tip of
the sterigmata.
The youngest is at the base
and oldest is at the top.
Two advantages
1. Dispersel of mature conidia in the air
2. Proper nourishment of young conidia
Conidia are black, green, brown, blue or yellow in
color according to their species
Conidial wall is thick consist of two layers outer
epispore and inner endospore
On falling of suitable substratum each
conidium germinates
First produce germ tube which grows into
mycelium
SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
• Sexual reproduction is rare.
• Female sex organ is called
ascogonium or archicarp.
• Male sex organ is called pollonidium or
anthridium.
ASCOGONIUM (FEMALE SEX ORGAN)
Small, coiled septate
branch.
Terminal segment is
longest and single celled
called trigogyne contain
20 nuclei.
Trigogyne function as a
receptive part of female
sex organ.
ANTHREDIUM (MALE SEX ORGAN
Male branch grows beside the ascogonium
from the same hyphae.
Anthredium is multi nucleate.
PLASMOGAMY
Fusion of ascogonium and anthredium.
Tip of anthredium fuse with trochogyne.
Then intervening wall is dissolved.
Content of anthredium pass into the
trochogyne.
Here haplophase ends.
Male nuclei pair with female nuclei.
Each pair is called dikaryon and phase is called
dikaryophase.
The wall of asci is dissolved.
Ascopores are released into
cleistothesium.
Then wall of cleistothesium decays to
released ascopores into atmosphere.
Each ascopores germinate to form
mycelium.

Life cycle of Aspergillus
ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE
44 species are reported in India.
Aspergillus oryzae is utilized to make alcohol.
Aspergillus niger is utilized in production of citric
acid and other organic acid.
Some species are the source of antibiotics.
Culture of A.niger and A.oryzae yield awide range
of enzymes.
Which are used for industrial
fermentation.
Decay tobacco and cigar.
Spoils nuts, bread and other food stuffs.
In humid atmosphere it grows on leather and
fabrics.
Sometimes produce poisonous substance called
mycotoxins.
Aspergillus Cause number of disease called
aspergilloses.
Eg. In human ear cause otomycosis.
Thank you

  • 2. CLASSIFICATION/SYSTEMIC POSITION Division : Mycota Sub division : Eumycotina Class :Ascomycetes sub-class : Euascomycetidae Order :Aspergillales Family :Aspergillaceae Genus : Aspergillus
  • 3. OCCURRENCE Saprophytic fungus. There are 200 species of Aspergillus. Grows on decaying vegetable. On fatty media such as butter and ghee. On starchy media such as bread and rice. On preserved food such as jams and jellies. Also found on rotting oranges and other fruits.
  • 4. APPEARANCE Greenish and Smoky Patches along with Mucor, Rhizopus & Penicillium on moist bread. Other common shades are Yellow, Black, and Blue. Mostly appear in the conodial stage (imperfect stage). Very few produce cleistothecia (perfect stage).
  • 5. Cultural Characteristics • Cottony appearance; initially white to yellow and then turning black The reverse is white to yellow. • Potato dextrose agar at 25°C is initially white, which quickly becomes black with conidial production. The reverse is pale yellow and growth may produce radial fissures in the agar. • Malt Extract Agar – an incubation for 7 days at 25ºC and 37ºC producing slightly brown colonies smooth-walled colonies of conidia. • Czapek Yeast Agar – after 5 days of incubation at 25ºC and 37ºC, they produce black colonies with wooly smooth-walled colonies of conidia.
  • 6. MYCELIUM Well developed structures. Made up of interwoven mass, branched and septate hyphae. Hyphae are branched and form mat on the substratum. Some of the hyphae lie superficially upon the substratum and other penetrate deeply to absorb food and for mycelium.

  • 8. REPRODUCTION 1. VEGETATIVE REPRODUCTION 2. ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION 3. SEXUAL REPRODUCTION
  • 10. ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION Conidiophores Cells vigorously grow and mycelium become thick walled. Thick walled t shaped cells called foot cell. Each t cell produce erect branch called conidiopores.
  • 11. Length of conidiophores is around 2.5mm. Swells at the tip and form globose called vesicle. Lumen of vesicle is continuous with upper part of conidiopores. From the surface of vesicle tubular cells grows outwords called strigmata or phialides. Phialides cover the whole surface of vesicle.
  • 12. DEVELOPMENT OF STERIGMETA/ PHIALIDES By dissolution of cell wall material thin tubular area formed. Cytoplasm, nucleus, mitochondria and other organelles migrate from vesicle to sterigmata. In maturity stage sterigmata cut off from vesicle from basal septum.
  • 13. ABSTRICTIONS OF CONIDIA Sterigmata are uninucleate Nucleus divide by mitosis to form two daughter nuclei From two one migrates to tip of the sterigmata to form first conidium First conidium is cut off by basal septum at the sterigmata apex. By fragmentation fungus produce asexual spores known as conidia
  • 14. Later develop second conidium in same manner. This series of events repeated. Thus sterigmata continue to grow conidia one below to another. Consequently chain of conidia is formed at the tip of the sterigmata. The youngest is at the base and oldest is at the top.
  • 15. Two advantages 1. Dispersel of mature conidia in the air 2. Proper nourishment of young conidia Conidia are black, green, brown, blue or yellow in color according to their species Conidial wall is thick consist of two layers outer epispore and inner endospore On falling of suitable substratum each conidium germinates First produce germ tube which grows into mycelium

  • 17. SEXUAL REPRODUCTION • Sexual reproduction is rare. • Female sex organ is called ascogonium or archicarp. • Male sex organ is called pollonidium or anthridium.
  • 18. ASCOGONIUM (FEMALE SEX ORGAN) Small, coiled septate branch. Terminal segment is longest and single celled called trigogyne contain 20 nuclei. Trigogyne function as a receptive part of female sex organ.
  • 19. ANTHREDIUM (MALE SEX ORGAN Male branch grows beside the ascogonium from the same hyphae. Anthredium is multi nucleate.
  • 20. PLASMOGAMY Fusion of ascogonium and anthredium. Tip of anthredium fuse with trochogyne. Then intervening wall is dissolved. Content of anthredium pass into the trochogyne. Here haplophase ends. Male nuclei pair with female nuclei. Each pair is called dikaryon and phase is called dikaryophase.
  • 21. The wall of asci is dissolved. Ascopores are released into cleistothesium. Then wall of cleistothesium decays to released ascopores into atmosphere. Each ascopores germinate to form mycelium.

  • 24. Life cycle of Aspergillus
  • 25. ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE 44 species are reported in India. Aspergillus oryzae is utilized to make alcohol. Aspergillus niger is utilized in production of citric acid and other organic acid. Some species are the source of antibiotics. Culture of A.niger and A.oryzae yield awide range of enzymes. Which are used for industrial fermentation.
  • 26. Decay tobacco and cigar. Spoils nuts, bread and other food stuffs. In humid atmosphere it grows on leather and fabrics. Sometimes produce poisonous substance called mycotoxins. Aspergillus Cause number of disease called aspergilloses. Eg. In human ear cause otomycosis.
