Fungus commonly known as sac fungi or ascomycetes, constitute the largest taxonomic group within the Eumycota. These fungi form meiotic spores called ascospores, which are enclosed in a special sac-like structure called an ascus. This phylum includes morels, a few mushrooms and truffles, unicellular yeasts (e.g., of the genera "Saccharomyces", "Kluyveromyces", "Pichia", and "Candida"), and many filamentous fungi living as saprotrophs, parasites, and mutualistic symbionts (e.g. lichens). Prominent and important genera of filamentous ascomycetes include "Aspergillus", "Penicillium", "Fusarium", and "Claviceps". Many ascomycete species have only been observed undergoing asexual reproduction (called anamorphic species), but analysis of molecular data has often been
Chlorophyll f Chlorophyll f Chlorophyll "f" is a type form of chlorophyll that absorbs further in the red (infrared light) than other chlorophylls. In 2010, it was reported from stromatolites from Western Australia's Shark Bay. The finding was made by scientists at the University of Sydney led by Professor Min Chen, and is the first discovery of a new form of chlorophyll in 60 years. However, the function of chlorophyll "f" in photosynthetic reactions is uncertain and the ecological distribution of chlorophyll "f" remains unknown. Based on NMR data, optical and mass spectra and density functional theory (DFT) simulation, it is confirmed
