Rhizopus microsporus causes rice seedling blight and is a severe crop disease in Asia. [15] In addition, R. microsporus significantly affects sunflower yield in terms of both (oil) quality and quantity. The free fatty acid content of sunflower oil increases from 0.8% to 19.4%.
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", [ 2 ] jellies, syrups, leather, bread, peanuts, and tobacco.
Rhizomucor pusillus belongs to the order Mucorales and the class Mucoromycetes. R. pusillus is a member of the phylum Mucoromycota (previously Zygomycota), which includes Rhizopus microsporus, R. oligosporus, and R. oryzae, fungi that have been used for centuries to produce tempeh from the fermentation of soybeans.

Paraburkholderia rhizoxinica is a gram-negative, oxidase and catalase-positive, motile bacterium from the genus Paraburkholderia and the family Burkholderiaceae which was isolated from the plant pathogenic fungus, Rhizopus microsporus. [4] [5] [6] The complete genome of Paraburkholderia rhizoxinica is sequenced. [7]
Fungal-bacterial endosymbiosis encompasses the mutualistic relationship between a fungus and intracellular bacteria species residing within the fungus. Many examples of endosymbiotic relationships between bacteria and plants, algae and insects exist and have been well characterized, however fungal-bacteria endosymbiosis has been less well described.
Rhizopus oligosporus is a fungus that belongs to the class Mucoromycetes, which is one of two classes in the phylum Mucoromycota. [6] Rhizopus oligosporus belongs to the Rhizopus microsporus group. This group is made of taxa with similar morphology that are associated with undesired metabolite production, pathogenesis and food fermentation.
It includes a diverse group of various molds, including the common bread molds Mucor and Rhizopus. [2] It is a sister phylum to Dikarya. [3] [4] Informally known as zygomycetes I, Mucoromycota includes Mucoromycotina, Mortierellomycotina, and Glomeromycotina, and consists of mainly mycorrhizal fungi, root endophytes, and plant decomposers.

Rhizoxin is biosynthesised by Paraburkholderia rhizoxinica, a bacterial endosymbiont of the fungus Rhizopus microsporus. [3] It is one of a large group of rhizoxin-like compounds produced by the bacteria. [4] The bacterial endosymbiont can be grown independently in culture.
