    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhizopus_stolonifer

    Rhizopus stolonifer is commonly known as black bread mold. [1] It is a member of Zygomycota and considered the most important species in the genus Rhizopus. [2] 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. [3]

  4. Aspergillus parasiticus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspergillus_parasiticus

    For the best growth of the fungus the carbon and nitrogen content in the soil is 1:1 and the pH 5.5. [8] A. parasiticus normally reproduces asexually [2] however, the presence of single mating genes MAT1-1 or MAT1-2 in different strains of the fungus suggests it has a heterothallic mating system and may have a hitherto unrecognized teleomorph.

  5. Aspergillus niger - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspergillus_niger

    Aspergillus niger can cause black mold infections in certain legumes, fruits, and vegetables such as peanuts, grapes, and onions, leading to the fungus being a common food contaminant. This filamentous ascomycete has a tolerance to changes in pH , humidity , and heat, thriving in a temperature range from 15 to 53 °C (59 to 127 °F). [ 45 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotrichum_candidum

    The fungus grows in soil, water, sewage, various plant substrates, baker's dough, husks of fermentation, bread, milk and milk products [1] The optimal temperature for growth is 25 °C (77 °F) with a pH range of 5.0–5.5. [8] The temperature range changes depending on the surface that the fungus grows on.

  7. Mold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mold

    Some fungi form mushrooms; others grow as single cells and are called microfungi (for example yeasts). A large and taxonomically diverse number of fungal species form molds. The growth of hyphae results in discoloration and a fuzzy appearance, especially on food. [3]

  8. Rhizopus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhizopus

    Rhizopus oligosporus is used to make tempeh, a fermented food derived from soybeans. Rhizopus oryzae is used in the production of alcoholic beverages in parts of Asia and Africa. Rhizopus stolonifer (black bread mold) causes fruit rot on strawberry, tomato, and Sweet potato and is used in commercial production of fumaric acid and cortisone.

  9. Aspergillus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aspergillus

    Viewing the fungi under a microscope, Micheli was reminded of the shape of an aspergillum (holy water sprinkler), from Latin spargere (to sprinkle), and named the genus accordingly. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] Aspergillum is an asexual spore-forming structure common to all Aspergillus species; around one-third of species are also known to have a sexual stage ...
