|
|
Septate have cell walls to separate the cells while coenocytic hyphae do not
|
|
|
Septate have gills and a stem while coenocytic hyphae do not.
|
|
|
There is no difference
|
|
|
Coenocytic hyphae are seen only in the phylum basidiomycota while septate hyphae are seen in ascomycota

Detailed explanation-1: -Hyphae that have walls (septa) between the cells are called septate hyphae; hyphae that lack walls and cell membranes between the cells are called nonseptate or coenocytic hyphae (Figure 4.2.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hyphae that are divided into cells are called septate hyphae. However, the hyphae of some fungi are not separated by septa. Hyphae without septae are called coenocytic hyphae. Coenocytic hyphae are big, multinucleated cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -Structure of Yeasts and Hyphae True hyphae may have cross-walls that contain pores for communication through the hyphae or cross-walls that are complete, dividing the hyphae into multiple cells. Hyphae that have cross-walls are calledseptate, whereas those without cross-walls are referred to asaseptate.
Detailed explanation-4: -Many refer to zygomycete hyphae as non-septate because they don’t have true septa with pores, they are one continuous cell. Cells are separated by solid cross walls with no pores and there is no flow of cytoplasmic material between cells.
Detailed explanation-5: -If there are no cross-walls the cell structure is is said to be “coenocytic". Many basidiomycetes have hyphae built up of uninucleate cells.
