    The document summarizes various cytoplasmic contents and structures found in fungal cells, including mitochondria, vacuoles, secretory and transport apparata, toxins, and secondary metabolites. Mitochondria function similarly to those in plant and animal cells, while vacuoles serve as storage sites for ions, metabolites, and hydrolytic enzymes. Some fungi produce "killer toxins" through mycoviruses that require binding to the cell wall of target yeasts. Fungi also produce secondary metabolites that are non-essential for viability but can include carcinogens, toxins, antibiotics, and other pharmacologically active compounds.

    CYTOPLASMIC CONTENTS
    Hyphae: multinuclear as Mitochondria: similar to Vacuoles: complex organelles Secretory & transport Toxins: “killer toxins” Secondary metabolites: small
    cytoplasmic continuity is plant & animal cells containing hydrolytic apparata produced by dsRNA compounds that are not
    maintained -sporulation enzymes; serve as storage of: mycovirus; these toxins: essential to cell’s viability;
    -Dimorphism ions, metabolites (amino - Have narrow pH range e.g:
    (morphogenesis) acids, polyphosphates, etc) - proteins or glycoproteins -Carcinogens (aflatoxins)
    - Require binding to cw of -Toxins (amanitin) Antibiotics
    target yeast -Anticancer substances
    Found among: -Pharmacologically active
    -Saccharomyces cerevisae compounds (ergotamine)
    -Candida
    -Cryptococcus

    1. Asexual Reproduction
    -Exhibited by IMPERFECT FUNGI or FUNGI IMPERFECTI
    -Involves only mitosis w/ nuclear & cytoplasmic division
    ▪️ Vegetative growth & expansion of yeast or mold
    CONIDIA – reproductive structures produced by asexual mode; from conidiophores
    ▪️ Spores that develop directly from vegetative mycelium:
    1. Blastoconidia /blastospores: seen in Candida
    2. Chlamydoconidia/chlamydospores: seen in Candida
    3. Arthroconidia/arthrospores: seen in Coccidioides immitis & Geotrichum candidum
    CONIDIA SPORANGIOSPORES
    ▪️Major asexual propagules ▪️Asexual spores produced in sac called SPORANGIUM attached on SPORANGIOPHORE
    ▪️Produced by conidiogenesis/conidiogeny ▪️Exhibited by Zygomycetes
    ▪️Conidiogenous cells - cells that produce conidia (CONIDIOPHORE)
    ▪️Conidia may be produced singly or in long chains from conidiophores
