Examples of coenocytic in the following topics:
-
- Most chytrids are unicellular; a few form multicellular organisms and hyphae, which have no septa between cells (coenocytic).
-
- Zygomycetes have a thallus of coenocytic hyphae in which the nuclei are haploid when the organism is in the vegetative stage.
-
- They have coenocytic hyphae and reproduce asexually, producing glomerospores.
-
- Instead, they are formed by large cells containing many nuclei, an arrangement described as coenocytic hyphae ( b).
- Fungal hyphae may be (a) septated or (b) coenocytic (coeno- = "common"; -cytic = "cell") with many nuclei present in a single hypha.
