Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg

German biologist (1795–1876).

Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg (19 April 1795 – 27 June 1876) was a German naturalist, zoologist, botanist, comparative anatomist, geologist, and microscopist. He was one of the most productive and renowned scientists of his time and a friend of the famous explorer Alexander von Humboldt. As a professor of medicine at the University of Berlin he was primarily interested in biology, naturalist studies and microscopy. His studies on micro-organisms led him to discover a number of protozoa, including the organisms giving the colour of the Red Sea, and he was among the first to suggest the separati

Rhizopus Ehrenb. 1820
fungi genus in the rhizopodaceae family
Rhizopus is a genus of common saprophytic fungi on plants and specialized parasites on animals. They are found in a wide variety of organic substances, including "mature fruits and vegetables", jellies, syrups, leather, bread, peanuts, and tobacco. They are multicellular. Some Rhizopus species are opportunistic human pathogens that often cause fatal disease called mucormycosis. This widespread genus includes at least eight species. Rhizopus species grow as filamentous, branching hyphae that generally lack cross-walls (i.e., they are coenocytic). They reproduce by forming asexual and sexual
Scleroderma areolatum (Leopard Earthball) Ehrenb. 1818
edible fungi species in the sclerodermataceae family
Scleroderma areolatum is a basidiomycete fungus and a member of the genus Scleroderma, or "earth balls".
Cytospora (Cytospora Cankers) Ehrenb. 1818
fungi genus in the valsaceae family
Cytospora is a genus of ascomycete fungi. The genus was first described in 1818 by Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg. Cytospora species are known as plant pathogens.
Auricularia cornea (Ear Fungus) Ehrenb. 1820
edible fungi species in the auriculariaceae family
Auricularia cornea, also known as cloud ear, is a species of fungus in the order Auriculariales. It is commercially cultivated in China, being a popular ingredient in many Chinese dishes and used in traditional Chinese medicine.
Coenogonium (Pixie-hair Lichens) Ehrenb. 1820
fungi genus in the coenogoniaceae family
Coenogonium is a genus of filamentous lichens in the monotypic family Coenogoniaceae. It has about 90 species. Most species are leaf-dwelling or grow on bark, although a few are known to grow on rocks under certain conditions, and some are restricted to growth on termite nests. The genus was circumscribed in 1820 by German naturalist Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg. Coenogonium has a worldwide distribution, with most species known from tropical areas. Most species grow in tropical rainforests in the shaded understorey. They typically grow on tree trunks, branches, lianas, and leaves.
Thamnomyces Ehrenb. 1820
fungi genus in the hypoxylaceae family
Thamnomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Xylariaceae. First described by German botanist Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg in 1820, as of 2008, the genus contains four or five species.

Syzygites Ehrenb. 1818
fungi genus in the syzygitaceae family
Syzygites is a monotypic genus in Zygomycota. The sole described species is Syzygites megalocarpus, which was the first fungus for which sex was reported and the main homothallic representative in the research that allowed for the classification of fungi as homothallic or heterothallic. It is also the fungus from which the term "zygospore" was coined.
Enteridium Ehrenb. 1819
fungi genus
Enteridium is a genus of slime molds belonging to the family Dianemataceae. It was formerly included in the Reticulariaceae and in some sources is listed as a synonym of Reticularia Bulliard, 1788, however recent work confirms it as a separate genus and removes it from that family (and the latter's containing order) and places it in the order Trichiales, family Dianemataceae.

Rhizopus stolonifer (Black Bread Mold) (Ehrenb.) Vuill. 1902
fungi species in the rhizopodaceae family
Rhizopus stolonifer, commonly known as black bread mold, is a member of Zygomycota and considered the most important species in the genus Rhizopus. It is one of the most common fungi in the world and has a global distribution, although it is most commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions. It is a common agent of decomposition of stored foods. Like other members of the genus Rhizopus, R. stolonifer grows rapidly, mostly in indoor environments.
