  2. Zygomycota - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygomycota

    The term "spore" is used to describe a structure related to propagation and dispersal. Zygomycete spores can be formed through both sexual and asexual means. Before germination the spore is in a dormant state. During this period, the metabolic rate is very low and it may last from a few hours to many years. There are two types of dormancy. The ...

  3. Zygomycosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygomycosis

    Zygomycosis is the broadest term to refer to infections caused by bread mold fungi of the zygomycota phylum. However, because zygomycota has been identified as polyphyletic, and is not included in modern fungal classification systems, the diseases that zygomycosis can refer to are better called by their specific names: mucormycosis [1] (after Mucorales), phycomycosis [2] (after Phycomycetes ...

  4. Mucorales - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucorales

    The Mucorales is the largest and best-studied order of zygomycete fungi. Members of this order are sometimes called pin molds. The term mucormycosis is now preferred for infections caused by molds belonging to the order Mucorales. [citation needed]

  5. Zoopagomycotina - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoopagomycotina

    Zoopagomycotina are microscopic and are typically obligate parasites of other zygomycete fungi and of microscopic soil animals such as nematodes, rotifers and amoebae. [3] Some species are endoparasites that live mostly within the bodies of their hosts and only exit the host when they are producing spores.

  6. Mating in fungi - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mating_in_fungi

    A zygomycete hypha grows towards a compatible mate and they both form a bridge, called a progametangia, by joining at the hyphal tips via plasmogamy. A pair of septa forms around the merged tips, enclosing nuclei from both isolates. A second pair of septa forms two adjacent cells, one on each side.

  7. Rhizopus stolonifer - Wikipedia

    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]

  8. Lichtheimia ramosa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lichtheimia_ramosa

    Lichtheimia ramosa is a saprotrophic zygomycete, typically found in soil or dead plant material. [1] It is a thermotolerant fungus that has also been known to act as an opportunistic pathogen–infecting both humans and animals. [2] [3]
