In this article we will discuss about the classification of ascomycetes into various orders. The classification of the Ascomycetes constitutes perhaps the most difficult taxonomic problem in mycology. The large number of species and the morphological complexities and variations in the Ascomycetes have often led to an understandable hesitancy on the part of the majority of mycologists to accept revisions [...]
In this article we will discuss about the development and dehiscence of ascus and ascospores. Development of Ascus and Ascospores: The process leading to the development of ascus and ascospores is extremely variable in the Ascomycetes. It is very simple in the genera Dipodascus, Eremascus, Schizosaccharomyces, and Saccharomyces, where the zygotic cell directly develops into an ascus. Whereas, in Taphrino [...]
In this article we will discuss about the family saccharomycetaceae and endomycetales. The Saccharomycetaceae are commonly known as the yeasts. Yeasts were first detected by Anton van Leeuwenhoek as early as 1680. They were compared with globular, oval bodies of albuminoids. After Pasteur (1875) had demonstrated that alcoholic fermentation results from the activity of yeasts in grape juice, these microorganisms, [...]
