Water Molds and Simple FungiOomycota, Chytridiomycota, Zygomycota Saprolegnia (Oomycota) Saprolegnia reproduction Phlyctochytrium Allomyces The last slide was of preserved material.Here is a better slide--of living material. Allomyces gametangia Rhizopus nigricans (Zygomycota) Black Bread Mold Rhizopus nigricans reproduction(Zygomycota) Some chytrid pictures * EKU General Botany Lab oogonium with eggs inside antheridial hyphae vegetative hyphae (2n and coenocytic) Sexual Asexual Zoosporangium (resistant zygote) (Antheridia and antheridial hyphae are basically interchangeable terms.) mycelia a ‘holocarpic’ chytrid rhizoidal hyphae a filamentous chytrid coenocytic hyphae Is this the sporophyte (2n) phase, or the gametophyte (n) phase? resistant sporangia (meiosporangia) mitosporangia The true colors of this organism have been greatly distorted by the technique used to make the permanent slide from which this photo was taken. (See the next slide.) This is the diploid (2n) phase of Allomyces. All of the sporangia in this photo are resistant meiosporangia. No thin-walled mitosporangia are visible. These resistant sporangia eventually will detach and float to the bottom. As spring arrives, meiosis will occur inside the sporangia and they will release haploid (n) meiozoospores. photo by Ross Clark In Allomyces, the male and female gametangia usually occur in pairs, with one sex above the other. In the picture above, you can see the brownish male gametangia above the clear female gametangia. The female gametangia have already released their gametes. The bright white spots are the exit papillae where the female gametes left the gametangia. photo by Ross Clark Mycelium (coenocytic) Sporangium Columella Sporangiophores Rhizoids Spores suspensor suspensor asexual phase sexual phase diploid chytrid on diatom a holcentric chytrid More chytrids!
