Microbiology Semester 2 Week 2

        Assalamualaikum and hi everyone... how are you all? I hope everyone will be fine as well... On Tuesday, in microbiology class as usual Dr Wan was taught us more about the fungi. Before that, Dr Wan was checked our flowchart about the isolation of the fungi. If any mistakes, she told us to change and correct it. For an hour, we did again the flowchart that Dr Wan asked us to correct it include the references. Next, Dr Wan taught us about the fungi in more details. Basically, Fungi is a eukaryotic spore-bearing organisms. Fungi does not have chlorophyll and it can reproduce by both sexually and asexually. It also is the absorptive nutrition. Fungi are divided into three which are true fungi, fungi imperfecti and fungus-like. Example of the Fungus-like are slime molds and water molds.

     On friday, Dr Wan was gave a group task to find information about how to identify eukaryotes? For my group, How to identify fungi because my group are fungi so we have find about fungi. Some groups are find about protozoa, archaea, virus, algae and bacteria. My group was found about Molecular identification and control of some pathogenic Fusarium species isolated from maize in Egypt by Izzati, Detection, Identification, and Distribution of Fungi in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Specimens by Use of Multilocus PCR Coupled with Electrospray Ionization/Mass Spectrometry by Adriana, Molecular phylogenetic identification of endophytic fungi isolated from three Artemisia
species by Adriana, Molecular identification of pathogenic fungi by Nadhirah, Molecular identification of fungi isolated from coastal regions of Red Sea, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia by Amira, Identification of fungi from dairy products by means of 18S rRNA analysis by me, Identification of fungi in the Gaeumannomyces-Phialophora complex by RFLPs of PCR-amplified ribosomal DNAs by me and Rapid identification of fungi by sequencing the ITS1 and ITS2 regions using an automated capillary electrophoresis systems by Luqman. If you want to study more about the how to identify fungi you cal also visit the page and the links are at the below.
