Fungi can be unicellular or multicellular; some (like yeast) and fungal spores are microscopic, whereas some are large and conspicuous. Reproductive types are important in distinguishing fungal groups. Medically important species exist in the four fungal groups Zygomycota, Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, and Microsporidia.

While scientists have identified about 100,000 species of fungi, this is only a fraction of the 1.5 million species of fungus likely present on Earth. Edible mushrooms, yeasts, black mold, and the producer of the antibiotic penicillin, Penicillium notatum, are all members of the kingdom Fungi, which belongs to the domain Eukarya.

Archaea and bacteria are classified as prokaryotes because they lack a cellular nucleus. Archaea differ from bacteria in evolutionary history, genetics, metabolic pathways, and cell wall and membrane composition. Archaea inhabit nearly every environment on earth, but no archaea have been identified as human pathogens.

It highlights model organisms like Arabidopsis thaliana and Drosophila melanogaster, and includes a discussion on bacteria, archaea, and viruses. Notable pathogens like E. coli and anthrax are addressed, along with the rapid identification of microorganisms and the importance of viruses such as influenza and smallpox.

Place a small drop of the yeast culture on a slide, dilute it with a drop or two of water, and add a cover slip. Make a wet mount of a mold by adding a drop of 5% KOH to your slide, scraping a small amount of mold onto a razor blade or other tool, and gently depositing it onto the droplet.

While scientists have identified about 150,000 species of fungi, this is only a fraction of the several million species of fungi likely present on Earth. Organisms in this group are heterotrophic eukaryotes that eat by external digestion, then absorption. Fungi can be unicellular (yeasts) or composed of filamentous cells called hyphae, which taken together form a thallus called the mycelium.

Bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa, and algae are the major groups of microorganisms. The vast majority of microorganisms are not harmful but rather beneficial. Microbiota refers to all of the microorganisms that live in a particular environment. A microbiome is the entire collection of genes found in all of the microbes associated with a particular host.
