A fimbria (Latin for 'fringe', plural fimbriae), also referred to as an "attachment pilus" by some scientists, is an appendage that can be found on many Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria, that is thinner and shorter than a flagellum. This appendage ranges from 3–10 nanometers in diameter and can be up to several micrometers long. Fimbriae are used by bacteria to adhere to one another and to adhere to animal cells and some inanimate objects. A bacterium can have as many as 1,000 fimbriae. Fimbriae are only visible with the use of an electron microscope. They may be straight or flexible.
A pilus (Latin for 'hair'; plural: pili) is a hair-like appendage found on the surface of many bacteria and archaea.[1] The terms pilus and fimbria (Latin for 'fringe'; plural: fimbriae) can be used interchangeably, although some researchers reserve the term pilus for the appendage required for bacterial conjugation. All pili in the latter sense are primarily composed of pilin proteins, which are oligomeric.

1) Strategies and structuresIn Protozoans the method of movement .pdfaptelecom16999
1) Strategies and structures:
In Protozoans the method of movement is determined by the type of organism and the
surrounding environment. Protozoans mainly move by cell extension, flagella or pseudopodia
and cilia, the movement as per the presence of structure can be classified as ciliary, flagellar and
amoeboid movement.
Ciliates : Ciliates form the largest group of protozoa. These organisms vary in size and often live
in watery environments, including oceans, marshes, bays and streams. Ciliates move using tiny
cilia, which are hair-like strands that act as sensors and tiny limbs.
Flagella are longer and less numerous that cilia, they use their long tail like flagella to move.
Amoebas : In these two cytoskeleton get polymerized . This creates a vacancy and cytoplasmice
material flow to cover the vacancy created. When amoeba moves cytoplasm moves to the arm
like extension called pseudopodium. This pseudopodium extends and enlarge and hence this
push the animal body towards that respective direction.
2) A) Flagellates can live as single cells, in colonies, or as parasites.
Commonly live in niche\'s of water.
They conduct photosynthesis and have a cell wall.
They contain flagella for propulsion or to create a current to bring in food.
They can inhabit the reproductive tract, alimentary canal, tissue sites and also the blood stream,
lymph vessels and cerebrospinal canal.
B) Pseudopods : Also called as false feet , are projections that can appear and disappear from the
organism\'s body. These are used for movement and to engulf prey and digest them using
enzymes.
C) Apicomplexa : Unicellular and spore forming, most of them possess a unique form of
organelle that comprises a type of plastid called an apicoplast, and an apical complex structure.
They have apicoplast(non photosynthetic plastid) , mitochondria and nuclear genomes.
Lack of cilia, sexual reproduction, use micropores for feeding, and the production of oocysts
containing sporozoites as the infective form.
They have unique gliding capability which enables them to cross through tissues and enter and
leave their host cells. This gliding ability is made possible by the use of adhesions and small
static myosin motors.
3) Key characteristics of fungi :
Fungi are unicellular or multicellular.
Most of the fungi grow as tubular filaments called hyphae
They are haploid.
Fungus are heterotrophs (they can obtain nutrients by absorption) . They absorb food and secrete
enzymes to digest complex molecules
Propogate by spores
Asexual or sexual reproduction
They can be multinucleated
Fungi are achlorophyllous (lack of cholorphyll pigment)
Both Fungi and protists belong to same kingdom but fungi is different from protist, protists are
able to live in an anaerobic environment without oxygen but fungi need aerobic respiration to
survive.
Protists are unicellular but fungi are multicellular. Protists are autotrophic (make their own
energy) and heterotrophic (rely on outside source to get energy), but fungi a.

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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Fungi
• Fungus (pl., fungi) is a Latin word which means mushrooms.
• The study of fungus is known as mycology.
• The fungi are evolutionary intermediates bridging plants and
microorganisms.
• Fungi are non-vascular plants without chlorophyll.
• Their mode of nutrition is hetero-trophic.
• They live as saprophytes or parasites or symbionts.
3. They are found in soil, water, air and in our food
stuffs.
4. They reproduce by means of spores.
There are about 1,00,000 species of fungi.
Fungi are economically useful.
They are used in many ways.
8. General Structure
They are eukaryotic protists.
It includes yeast, molds and mushrooms.
The body of fungus is not differentiated into root, stem and leaves.
The body of fungus is called thallus.
Hence it is included under the group Thallophyta.
9. The study of fungus is called Mycology and the scientists who are studying
fungi are called Mycologists*.
The fungi of microbiological importance are
Yeast,
Penicillium,
Agaricus,
Aspergillus,
Rhizopus,
Puccinia, etc.
10. • Fungi are either unicellular or
multicellular forms.
• The yeasts are unicellular.
• The moulds and mushrooms are
multicellular.
• The multicellular fungi are in the form
of filaments.
• Each filament of the mycelium is called
a hypha.
12. • The mycelium can be divided
into the vegetative mycelium
which grows into the medium
and
• The aerial mycelium which
projects from the surface.
13. The hypha is tubular in nature.
It consists of cytoplasm enclosed by plasma membrane and
cell wall.
The cytoplasm contains nucleus.
14. • This cytoplasm having many nuclei without cross walls is called a coenocyte
15. In septate hypha cross walls (septa) are present.
The septate hyphae may be uninucleate or multinucleate.
The septum contains pores and the cytoplasm of all the cells
are interconnected.
16. The fungal cell is surrounded by a cell wall.
The cell wall is made up of fungal cellulose,
which is a form of chitin.
Below the cell wall there is a plasma
membrane.
The plasma membrane encloses the
protoplasm
17. • The protoplasm contains cell organelles and cell
inclusions.
• The organelles includes Golgi apparatus, mitochondria,
endoplasmic reticulum, vacuoles, etc.
• The inclusions include glycogen, oil droplets, pigments,
etc.
• Fungi are sedentary(inactive) and they are immobile.
18. •However, motile cells appear in their life cycles.
• The motile cells have flagella.
• Each flagellum has a central axoneme and a cytoplas
mic sheath.
•The axoneme has 9+2 fibrils.
19. • The nutrition in fungus is heterotrophic.
• They live as saprophytes or parasites or symbionts
• Lichen is a symbiont.
• It is an association of fungus and alga.
20. • Reproduction occurs by asexual and sexual methods.
• The asexual occurs by fragmentation or budding or sporulation.
• In frag-mentation, a small piece of hypha develops into a whole fungus.
22. • Sporulation is the production of spores.
• The asexual spores may be conidia or
aleuriospores or arthrospore or
chlamydospore or blastospore or
sporangiospore.
• Sexual reproduction occurs by producing
haploid spores such as, zygospores or
ascospores or basidiospores.
23. • In higher fungi such as, mushroom, the spores are located on a
specialised structure called fruiting body.
24. Yeasts
Yeasts are unicellular fungi.
• Saccharomyces is the commonly found yeast.
• It is haploid.
• It is commonly called baker's yeast or brewer's yeast because it is
commonly used in making bread, cakes, beers, wines, etc.
• It lives saprophytically in or on sugary solution, ripe fruits, decaying
vegetables, etc.
• It also occurs in the soil
25. • It is microscopic and unicellular.
• The thallus has no mycelium.
• It is made up of a single cell.
• It is oval in shape.
• The cell is covered by an outer cell
wall and an inner plasma membrane.
• The plasma membrane encloses the
protoplast.
• The protoplast is made up of
cytoplasm and nucleus
26. • The cytoplasm contains mitochondria, Golgi
apparatus, ribosomes, endoplasmic
reticulum, etc.
• A large vacuole is found in the center of the
mature yeast.
• The vacuole contains water, lipid granules,
etc
• The nucleus is haploid.
• It reproduces asexually and sexually.
• Asexual reproduction occurs by budding and
fission,
• Sexual reproduction occurs by the union of
two mature cells.
• It is called conjugation
27. • Sexual reproduction occurs by conjugation.
• During conjugation, two haploid cells come together.
• A conjugation canal is formed between them.
• The two haploid nuclei of the two yeasts fuse together to form
a diploid zygote.
• It undergoes reduction division to form eight haploid nuclei.
• Each haploid nucleus develops into an ascospore.
• The ascospore germinates into a haploid yeast.
28.
29. Yeasts are used in the following ways
They are used for alcohol production.
Alcohol is produced by alcoholic fermenta-tion.
The process of the oxidation of sugar into alcohol and carbon-di-oxide under
anaerobic conditions is called alcoholic fermentation.
It is possible because yeast secretes an called zymase.
It is used in the preparation of ethyl alcohol, glycerol, ethers, fatty acids,
acetic acid, succinic acid, etc.
Yeasts are used along with starch to prepare yeast cakes.
Vitamin B, is prepared from yeast cultures.
30. Penicillium
Penicillium is a fungus.
It is commonly called green mold because the conidia are green in
colour.
It is haploid.
The body of Penicillium is called thallus.
It is filamentous.
The filamentous body is called mycelium.
The filaments are called hyphae.
They are septate.
There are horizontal and vertical hyphae.
The horizontal hyphae are vegetative hyphae.
The vertical branches bear conidia and hence are called conidiophores.
31.
32.
33. It reproduces vegetatively by fragmentation
asexually by conidia and
sexually by plas-mogamy.
In fragmentation, the mycelium breaks into small pieces and each piece
grows into a Penicillium
The conidia are spherical bodies developed at the tip of vertical hypha.
They are dispersed by wind and each conidium germinates into a
mycelium.
35. • Sexual reproduction occurs by plasmogamy.
• In plasmogamy, the cytoplasm and nuclei of male sex organ and female
sex organ fuse together.
• The plasmogamy produces a hypha with double nuclear called dikaryon.
• The dikaryon cells divide to form ascogenous hypha.
• It produces ascus.
• The ascus undergoes reduction division to produce 8 ascospores.
• The ascospores are haploid.
• They germinate into Penicillium.
38. Economic Importance of Penicillium
Many species of Penicillium are capable of producing organic acids such
as citric acid, fumaric acid, Oxalic acid, gluconic acid and gallic acid.
41. Some species of Penicillium produce certain antibiotics.
These antibiotics are used to treat infectious diseases caused by aerobic and
anaerobic bacteria in man and animals
42. Harmful effect of Penicillium
Some species destroy leather and fabrics.
