Ascomycetes

Two of his favourite mushrooms are truffles and morels, members of the important ascomycetes group of funghi, which also includes yeasts as well as the mould Penicillium chrysogenum from which penicillin is derived. ❋ Unknown (2008)

All ascomycetes produce asci at some stage in their life cycle. ❋ Unknown (2006)

Or was it one of the gasteromycetes, the coniomycetes, the hyphomycetes, the ascomycetes, or one of the physomycetes? ❋ Various (N/A)

It was stated in the second paper of this series that the disposition of the _Lecideaceae_ in an early paper of the series would show what slight changes are needed in treating lichens as we treat other ascomycetes. ❋ Leafy Jane Corrington Hilker (1894)

Mention may be made here, however, of the attempts in parts of France to cultivate truffles, species of subterranean fungi belonging to the ascomycetes (various species of the genus _Tuber_). ❋ George Francis Atkinson (1886)

Some ascomycetes are pathogens that cause disease in plants or animals, while others are edible or harmlessly live on dead organic matter.

Together with colleagues at Harvard, Roper studied the airborne spores of more than 100 species of ascomycetes, the largest phylum of fungi. ❋ Unknown (2009)

While Roper and his colleagues found that ascomycetes eject spores at an unexpectedly forceful 1.24 meters per second, the spores decelerate very rapidly, heightening the importance of aerodynamics in reproductive success. ❋ Unknown (2009)

Peroxisome-like organelles, called Woronin bodies, plug the septa of the ascomycetes ❋ Arend F. Van Peer Et Al. (2009)

Moreover the presence of 4 RGS - (Regulator of G-protein Signaling) proteins and 3 GprK-type G-protein coupled receptors comprising an RGS-domain suggest a more complex posttranslational regulation of G-protein signaling than in other ascomycetes. ❋ Unknown (2008)
