    Sporulation & Types of Spores
    • Single-celled and thick-walled propagules are called spores.
    • Spores are commonly formed in monera, protista, algae and fungi.

    Zoospores:

    • These are motile and flagellated spores produced in zoosporangia.
    • These generally lack a cell wall.
    • These are seen in Phycomycetes and many algae.

    Conidia:

    • These are formed in ascomycetes fungi.
    • These are non-motile spores that can be formed singly or in a chain on special branches called conidiophores.
    • These are produced exogenously.

    Chlamydospores:

    • These are thick-walled spores that are produced directly from the hyphal cells.
    • These can be terminal or intercalary in position.
    • These are seen in Rhizopus and mushrooms.

    Oidia:

    • These are formed when the hyphae break and each fragment forms a spore.
