Botanical Terms -Actinobacteria
a group of organisms of the phylum *Bacteria, many of which develop mycelia.The majority are soil-dwelling, and others fix nitrogen by growing *root nodules on some non-leguminous plants. Actinomycetes were once thought to be fungus because they produce mycelia.

Botanical Terms - Acrostichum
Pteridaceae family member Acrostichum a genus of ferns with a *acrostichoid' state, which also independently arose in other ferns, where the leaves are *pinnate, the rhizome is creeping, and the upper pinnae are reduced and covered in *sporangia below. In mangrove forests found across the tropics, there are three species (A. aureum being the most prevalent). Young leaves on it can be eaten.

Botanical Terms -acrocentric
Used in reference to a *chromosome where the *centromere is situated closer to one end than the other. Acrocentric chromosomes travel toward one pole during the *anaphase stage of cell division, giving rise to a 'J'-shaped chromosome as opposed to the typical 'V' shape of *metacentric chromosomes, which have the centromere in the center.

Botanical Terms -Acrasiomycetes (*Myxomycota)
division a group of *slime molds where individual amoeboid cells (*myxamoebae) are typically present throughout the feeding stage. Myxamoeba aggregation results in the differentiation of the ensuing *pseudoplasmodium, which then forms *fruiting bodies. You can find acaciaomycetes in soil, decaying plant matter, etc.
