Fungi
- Molecular classification
- Eukaryotic organisms, Decomposers, Symbionts, Pathogens
01
Overview
Fungi are a kingdom of eukaryotic organisms that includes yeasts, molds, and mushrooms. They are heterotrophic, obtaining nutrients through absorption. They play diverse ecological roles, acting as decomposers, symbionts, and pathogens. Some fungi are medically relevant, causing infections or producing antibiotics.

Mechanism of action
Antifungal drugs target fungal-specific components like ergosterol in the cell membrane or chitin in the cell wall.
