actinomycetes
(gcide) | actinomycetes \actinomycetes\ n.
1. branched gram-positive bacteria, often found in soil, some
of which are pathogenic for humans and animals.
Note: some species have been found to produce metabolites
which are useful in medicine. Many species of these
bacteria have been isolated and extensively screened by

for production of useful therapeutic agents. Among the
agent produced by actinomycetes are tetracyclines,
streptomycin, avermectin, and thienamycin

ascomycete
(gcide) | ascomycete \ascomycete\ n.
1. 1 any fungus of the class Ascomycetes (or subdivision
Ascomycota) in which the spores are formed inside an

[WordNet 1.5] |
Ascomycetes
(gcide) | Fungi \Fun"gi\ (f[u^]n"j[imac]), n. pl.; sing. fungus. (Biol.)
A group of thallophytic plant-like organisms of low
organization, destitute of chlorophyll, in which reproduction
is mainly accomplished by means of asexual spores, which are
produced in a great variety of ways, though sexual
reproduction is known to occur in certain Phycomycetes, or
so-called algal fungi. They include the molds, mildews,
rusts, smuts, mushrooms, toadstools, puff balls, and the
allies of each. In the two-kingdom classification system they
were classed with the plants, but in the modern five-kingdom
classification, they are not classed as plants, but are
classed in their own separate kingdom fungi, which includes
the phyla Zygomycota (including simple fungi such as bread
molds), Ascomycota (including the yeasts), Basidiomycota
(including the mushrooms, smuts, and rusts), and
Deuteromycota (the fungi imperfecti). Some of the forms,
such as the yeasts, appear as single-celled microorganisms,
but all of the fungi are are eukaryotic, thus distinguishing
them from the prokaryotic microorganisms of the kingdon
Monera.
[Webster 1913 Suppl. +PJC]
Note: The Fungi appear to have originated by degeneration
from various alg[ae], losing their chlorophyll on
assuming a parasitic or saprophytic life. In an earlier
classification they were divided into the subclasses
Phycomycetes, the lower or algal fungi; the
Mesomycetes, or intermediate fungi; and the
Mycomycetes, or the higher fungi; by others into the
Phycomycetes; the Ascomycetes, or sac-spore fungi;
and the Basidiomycetes, or basidial-spore fungi.
[Webster 1913 Suppl.]Ascomycetes \Ascomycetes\ n.
1. 1 large class of higher fungi .
Syn: class Ascomycetes.
[WordNet 1.5]Ascomycetes \As`co*my*ce"tes\, n. pl. [NL.; ascus + Gr. ?, ?,
fungus.] (Bot.)
A large class of higher fungi distinguished by septate
hyph[ae], and by having their spores formed in asci, or spore
sacs; the sac fungi. It comprises many orders, among which
are the yeasts, molds, mildews, truffles, morels, etc. The
class is coextensive with the phylum Ascomycota. --

Phycomycetes
(gcide) | Fungi \Fun"gi\ (f[u^]n"j[imac]), n. pl.; sing. fungus. (Biol.)
A group of thallophytic plant-like organisms of low
organization, destitute of chlorophyll, in which reproduction
is mainly accomplished by means of asexual spores, which are
produced in a great variety of ways, though sexual
reproduction is known to occur in certain Phycomycetes, or
so-called algal fungi. They include the molds, mildews,
rusts, smuts, mushrooms, toadstools, puff balls, and the
allies of each. In the two-kingdom classification system they
were classed with the plants, but in the modern five-kingdom
classification, they are not classed as plants, but are
classed in their own separate kingdom fungi, which includes
the phyla Zygomycota (including simple fungi such as bread
molds), Ascomycota (including the yeasts), Basidiomycota
(including the mushrooms, smuts, and rusts), and
Deuteromycota (the fungi imperfecti). Some of the forms,
such as the yeasts, appear as single-celled microorganisms,
but all of the fungi are are eukaryotic, thus distinguishing
them from the prokaryotic microorganisms of the kingdon
Monera.
[Webster 1913 Suppl. +PJC]
Note: The Fungi appear to have originated by degeneration
from various alg[ae], losing their chlorophyll on
assuming a parasitic or saprophytic life. In an earlier
classification they were divided into the subclasses
Phycomycetes, the lower or algal fungi; the
Mesomycetes, or intermediate fungi; and the
Mycomycetes, or the higher fungi; by others into the
Phycomycetes; the Ascomycetes, or sac-spore fungi;
and the Basidiomycetes, or basidial-spore fungi.
[Webster 1913 Suppl.]Phycomycetes \Phy`co*my*ce"tes\, n. pl. [NL.; Gr. fy^kos seaweed
+ mycetes.] (Bot.)
A large, important class of parasitic or saprophytic fungi,
the algal or algalike fungi. The plant body ranges from an
undifferentiated mass of protoplasm to a well-developed and
much-branched mycelium. Reproduction is mainly sexual, by the
formation of conidia or sporangia; but the group shows every
form of transition from this method through simple
conjugation to perfect sexual reproduction by egg and sperm
in the higher forms. -- Phy`co*my*ce"tous, a.

Pooecetes gramineus
(gcide) | Bunting \Bun"ting\, n. [Scot. buntlin, corn-buntlin, OE.
bunting, buntyle; of unknown origin.] (Zool.)
A bird of the genus Emberiza, or of an allied genus,
related to the finches and sparrows (family
Fringillid[ae]).
[1913 Webster]
Note: Among European species are the common or corn bunting
(Emberiza miliaria); the ortolan ({Emberiza
hortulana}); the cirl (Emberiza cirlus); and the
black-headed (Granitivora melanocephala). American
species are the bay-winged or grass ({Po["o]c[ae]tes
gramineus} or Po[oe]cetes gramineus); the
black-throated (Spiza Americana); the towhee bunting
or chewink (Pipilo); the snow bunting ({Plectrophanax
nivalis}); the rice bunting or bobolink, and others.
See Ortolan, Chewick, Snow bunting, {Lark
bunting}.

1. A cap which fits the head closely; also, formerly, a
headpiece of iron sewed inside of a cap for protection.

split + ?, -?, a fungus.] (Biol.)
An order of Schizophyta, including the so-called fission
fungi, or bacteria. See Schizophyta, in the Supplement.
