Ascus: Classification & Overview

An ascus (from Ancient Greek ἀσκός (askós) 'skin bag, wineskin'; pl.: asci) is the sexual spore-bearing cell produced in ascomycete fungi. Each ascus usually contains eight ascospores (or octad), produced by meiosis followed, in most species, by a mitotic cell division. However, asci in some genera or species can occur in numbers of one (e.g.…
