Fungi are saprophytic organisms belonging to the kingdom Fungi. These organisms are dependent upon dead and decaying matter of the living organisms and their products for their own nourishment. These organisms exhibit hyphae which is a thread like structure to derive nutrition from the dead and decaying organic matter. They recycle the organic matter into nutrients which are readily absorbed by the plants from the soil, therefore they are called as decomposers. Yeast is a fungi that is used in preparation of bread. Penicillin is the antibiotic that is prepared from the fungi Penicillium notatum. It is highly potent fungi to fight against bacterial infections.
