CFU is an acronym (type of abbreviation) commonly seen on products containing probiotics. It stands for colony forming unit and is a measurement of the good bacteria and yeasts inside. A colony forming unit is a bacteria or yeast that is capable of living and reproducing to form a group of the same bacteria or yeasts. Microbiologists use CFU to describe the number of active, live organisms instead of the number of all the bacteria-dead, inactive and alive-in a laboratory sample.
An antheridium typically consists of sterile cells and spermatogenous tissue. The sterile cells may form a central support structure or surround the spermatogenous tissue as a protective jacket. The spermatogenous cells give rise to spermatids via mitotic cell division.In bryophytes, the antheridium is borne on an antheridiophore, a stalk-like structure that carries the antheridium at its apex.In many gymnosperms and all angiosperms, the male gametophytes have been reduced to pollen grains and their antheridia have been reduced to a single generative cell within the pollen grain.n bryophytes, the antheridium is borne on an antheridiophore, a stalk-like structure that carries the antheridium at its apex.
