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.
This cycle is known as alternation of generations. The spores of seed plants, however, are produced internally and the megaspores, formed within the ovules and the microspores are involved in the formation of more complex structures that form the dispersal units, the seeds and pollen grains.ince fungi are often classified according to their spore-producing structures, these spores are often characteristic of a particular taxon of the fungi. 1  Sporangiospores: spores produced by a sporangium in many fungi such as zygomycetes. 2  Zygospores: spores produced by a zygosporangium, characteristic of zygomycetes.
