| algae and fungi | Algae represent a group of spore-propagating plants, unicellular or undifferentiated into root, stem, and leaf. They include seaweed and many unicellular fresh water plants, most of which contain chlorophyll. They account for about 90% of the earth's photosynthetic activity. Fungi are eukaryotic, heterotrophic organisms that live as saprobes or parasites and include mushrooms, yeasts, smuts, molds, etc. They lack chlorophyll. (12 Dec 1998) |

| fission fungi | <biology> An order of Schizophyta, including the so-called fission fungi, or bacteria. See Schizophyta, in the Supplement. Origin: NL, fr. Gr. To split +, -, a fungus. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| fungi | <microbiology> Kingdom Fungi includes organisms such as slime moulds, mushrooms, smuts, rusts, mildews, moulds, stinkhorns, puffballs, truffles and yeasts. All are classified in this kingdom because they absorb food in solution directly through their cell walls and reproduce through spores. None conduct photosynthesis. (05 Jan 1998) |
| Fungi Imperfecti | A phylum of fungi in which sexual reproduction is not known or in which one of the mating types has not yet been discovered. Formerly, most fungi causing disease in humans were considered asexual and were placed in this class, but studies have revealed that they are not imperfect and that in their sexual forms they can be classified as ascomycetes or basidiomycetes.

| acetoclastic bacteria | <microbiology> Bacteria that use only acetic acid and produce methane during anaerobic fermentation. Origin: L. Acetum = vinegar. (06 May 1997) |
| acetogenic bacteria | <microbiology> Bacteria that convert carbon dioxide to sugars into acetate. Origin: L. Acetum = vinegar. (06 May 1997) |
| anaerobic bacteria | Bacteria which thrive in the absence of oxygen. (27 Sep 1997) |
| antibody-coated bacteria test, urinary | Fluorescent antibody technique for visualizing antibody-bacteria complexes in urine. The presence or absence of antibody-coated bacteria in urine correlates with localization of urinary tract infection in the kidney or bladder, respectively. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bacteria | <microbiology> One of the two major classes of prokaryotic organism (the other being the Cyanobacteria). Bacteria are small (linear dimensions of around 1 m), noncompartmentalised, with circular DNA and ribosomes of 70S. Protein synthesis differs from that of eukaryotes and many antibacterial antibiotics interfere with protein synthesis, but do not affect the infected host. Recently bacteria have been subdivided into Eubacteria and Archaebacteria, although some would consider the Archaebacteria to be a third kingdom, distinct from both Eubacteria and Eukaryotes. The Eubacteria can be further subdivided on the basis of their staining using Gram stain. Since the difference between gram-positive and gram-negative depends upon a fundamental difference in cell wall structure it is therefore more soundly based than classification on gross morphology alone (into cocci, bacilli, etc.).

| bacteria-free stage of bacterial endocarditis | Endocarditis described prior to the antibiotic era and presumably due to spontaneous healing of the bacterial vegetations. (05 Mar 2000) |
| blue-green bacteria | <organism> Modern term for the blue green algae, prokaryotic cells that use chlorophyll on intracytoplasmic membranes for photosynthesis. The blue green colour is due to the presence of phycobiliproteins. Found as single cells, colonies or simple filaments. In Anabaena, in which the cells are arranged as a filament, heterocysts capable of nitrogen fixation occur at regular intervals. According to the endosymbiont theory Cyanobacteria are the progenitors of chloroplasts. (18 Nov 1997) |
| budding and appendaged bacteria | Bacteria that commonly possess unusual shapes, have complex life cycles, and divide by budding. Many have appendages which are sufficiently prominent that they can be detected by phase-contrast light microscopy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| magnetotactic bacteria | <microbiology> Bacteria that can orient themselves in the earth's magnetic field due to the presence of magnetosomes. (09 Oct 1997) |
| gliding bacteria | <microbiology> A type of bacteria which moves by gliding or creeping along solid substrates. (17 Dec 1997) |
| gram-negative aerobic bacteria | <microbiology> A large group of aerobic bacteria which show up as pink (negative) when treated by the gram-staining method. (12 Dec 1998) |
