Botanical Terms - Acremonium
Acremonium (*Hyphomycetes class) a genus of form-forming fungi that produce conidia in phialids and create septate mycelia. *Antibiotics known as cephalosporins are produced by certain animals. (Fungi formerly known as Cephalosporium are included in the form genus.)

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.

Botanical Terms - Acrasin
acrasin a chemotactic material that contributes to *cellular slime molds' (order Acrasiales) aggregation response. We now know that it is adenosine monophosphate, or cyclic AMP.

Botanical Terms – Acquired Characteristics
acquired characteristics the traits that an organism picks up throughout its lifetime. Early evolutionary theorists like *Lamarck postulated that characteristics picked up in one generation in response to external cues would be passed down to the gametes and inherited by the following generation. Consequently, over a number of generations, a certain kind of organism
would improve its environmental adaptation. While some parts of the theory have since been revived in a modified form, Lamarck's types of acquisition and their heredity are now rejected.

Botanical Terms - Acorus (*Araceae family)
two species in warm temperate Asia and North America belong to this genus. A. calamus (sweet flag), a marsh plant, is widely cultivated for its fragrant leaves and *rhizomes which have medicinal properties. The flowers are bisexual, and the rhizomes are *sympodial.

Botanical Terms - acidic soil
a soil with a *pH below 7.0. There are recognized levels of acidity in soil. When the reaction is less than pH 5.0, the soil is considered "very acid." Less than pH 4.5 is extremely acidic; 4.5–5.0 is very strongly acidic; 5.1–5.5 is moderately acidic; 5.6–6.0 is medium acidic; and 6.1–6.5 is mildly acidic are the five standard ranges of soil acidity listed by the *USDA. Acid brown earth surface soil horizons react at pH 5.0 or lower
