What is the difference between septate and coenocytic hyphae?
The main difference between septate and coenicytic fungi is that they posses divisions or septa on their hyphae. Are invaginations of the same material that composes the cell wall, usually chitin, these septa have small pores in them that allow the inter exchange of materials like ribosomes and even nuclei between cells, when the hypha is damaged septum pores are closed, localizing damage, saving the rest of the hypha from further damage. While hypae on coenicytic fungi don have any septa, so the whole hypha is a single cell, when damaged the hypha will try to recover, but if the damage is large enough the hypha will die. This is a clear advantage of septate over non-septate fungi. Most Phylums on the Kingdom Mycota are septate. Fungus-like organisms posses coenicytic hyphae.
