While there are currently no established guidelines on acceptable Ascospore levels, concentrations of over 5 000 spores/m3 should warrant further action [6]. Ascospores mold …

Sordaria fimicola ascus plus ascospore. An ascospore is a spore contained in an ascus, or that was produced inside an ascus. This kind of spore is specific to fungi classified as ascomycetes …

Ascus, a saclike structure produced by fungi of the phylum Ascomycota (sac fungi) in which sexually produced spores (ascospores), usually four or eight in number, are formed. Asci may …

Nov 23, 2024 · ascospore: a sexually-produced spore from the ascus of an Ascomycetes fungus; conidia: asexual, non-motile spores of a fungus, named after the Greek word for dust, conia; …

Sep 19, 2024 · Often, ascospore levels are the highest during warm, humid, or even rainy conditions – rain droplets can actually splash the sac-like ascus and burst it, launching the …

While the process of ascospore formation is most extensively studied in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it is highly conserved throughout the ascomycetes. The work described here …

Ascospore discharge is the fastest fungal movement. Early ascus research inspired the most ingenious experiments in mycological history. Ascospore and ballistospore discharge share …

Sep 18, 2021 · When looking under the microscope and detailing a typical ascospore, we observe that they are elliptical in shape, that they have their protoplasts enclosed by a three-level or …

Dec 1, 2023 · These experiments have established that ascospore discharge is the fastest fungal movement and is among the fastest movements in biology. Beginning with the history of the …

Aug 13, 2021 · In this review, we discuss how to assess ascospore maturity and describe methods to produce an ascospore deposit for the purpose of obtaining living, mature …
