Extract

The research seminar, Fungal Pathogenesis explains some physiological pathogenic characteristics in fungi, for example, molds are multi-cellular and yeasts are single oval cells. Fungi, which can cause severe diseases, are single or multi-cellular eukaryotic organisms that lack chlorophyll and vascular tissue with a body mass of branched filamentous hyphae that often produce specialized fruiting bodies. There are approximately 1.5 million of fungi around us and their ability to cause disease is accidental causing as oppose to a virus or other pathogens.
