Modern classification-phylogenetic relationship using biochemical and molecular aspects. Whittaker (1969) – 5 kingdom classification- kingdom fungi.. The kind and number of airborne microbes vary tremendously in different environments and dependent upon the activity in the environment and upon the amount of dust stirred up. The most significant environmental factors influencing viability of microbes are temperature, relative humidity and wind velocity. Other factors influencing their survival are oxygen, air ions, solar irradiance and open air factors. Among the microbes present in the atmosphere, bacteria are highest in number. In Outdoor air. .

This video describes soil fungi, which are a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms that have rigid cell walls and lack chlorophyll. Soil fungi often make up more biomass in soil than any other microbial group. These filamentous organisms are heterotrophic, which means they consume organics as a carbon source.   Fungi can produce abundant hyphae (or threads) that are able to extract nutrients and water from many locations within the soil matrix. Also, fungi are active in decomposing plant residues and animal tissues. The video shows a close-up of fungal hyphae active in decomposing an insect or macrofauna (relatively larger animal). Most fungi that grow on artificial media originate from asexual spores. This group informally is called Fungi . B 104. Level 1 . - Fungi are more closely related to animals than . . . . plants.
