How does fungi differ from green plants?

Isolation media for actinomycetes?
the most recognized media for isolation of actinomycetes are starch casein and oat meal
Organism that breaks down the nutrients of dead organisms or wastes of food?
A decomposer
How is fungi different then animals and plants?
Fungi is part of the Eukarya domain... Having more than one cell, and having cells with a nucleus. If their size doesn't tell you how much they differ, then consider the fact that Fungi are decomposers, feeding off plant and animal life, and bacteria have uncountable ways of feeding. As an added note, Fungi are stationary. Bacteria can move around.
Whats the name of the microbes that produce most antibiotics?
More than half of our antibiotics are produced by species of streptomyces, filamentous bacteria that commonly inhibit soil.
What eats actinomycetes?
other higher fungi
What is difference between bacteria fungi and actinomycetes?
Very simple...actinomycetes lies between bacteria and fungi. It was first considered to be fungi by looking the morphological features like hyphae, spore formation etc. But then when they looked into the DNA, the GC content of actinomycetes was less than that of fungi and was slightly more than that of bacteria. So actinomycetes were called as filamentous gram positive bacteria.
What are two major groups of decompsers?
There is daphnia, and there is actinomycetes. There is daphnia, and there is actinomycetes. bacteria and fungi
What is the example of fungi?
Mycetoma (a chronic progressive subcutaneous infection caused by species of fungi (eumycetoma), or actinomycetes (actinomycetoma)) Mushrooms

How does fungi differ from green plants?
Fungi do not photosynthesize.
How actinomycetes related to drought stress?
Actinomycetes are dominant in arid environments and prefer neutral to alkaline pH for their growth. Among actinomycetes most domianant genera is Streptomyces (~90%). The actinomycetes even though produce spores but are not heat resistant. These spores help in perpetuation of actinomycetes and few of the actinomycetes are known for secondary metabolite production and exopolysaccharides. Actinomycetes are known for production of siderophores, antibiotics, IAA, GA etc. They are found in the rhizosphere and few actinomycetes are endophytes tooo!!!. This traits help actinomycetes to survive in rhizopshre and hel in alleviating drought stress.
