Mucoromycotina is a subphylum of uncertain placement in Fungi. It was considered part of the phylum Zygomycota, but recent phylogenetic studies have shown that it was polyphyletic and thus split into several groups, it is now thought to be a paraphyletic grouping. Mucoromycotina is currently composed of 3 orders, 61 genera, and 325 species.
Mucoromycotina and Glomeromycotina can form mycorrhiza-like relationships with nonvascular plants. [5] Mucoromycota contain multiple mycorrhizal lineages, [6] root endophytes, [7] and decomposers of plant-based carbon sources. [8] Mucoromycotina species known as mycoparasites, or putative parasites of arthropods are like saprobes.
The original report of sex in fungi, occurred two centuries ago, based on observations of the fungus Syzygites megalocarpus (Mucoromycotina) (reviewed by Idnurm [1]). This species, was subsequently used in 1904, to represent self-fertile species when the concept of two major mating strategies were developed for the fungi.
Phycomyces blakesleeanus is a filamentous fungus in the Order Mucorales of the phylum Zygomycota or subphylum Mucoromycotina. The spore-bearing sporangiophores of Phycomyces are very sensitive to different environmental signals including light, gravity, wind, chemicals, and adjacent objects.
Mucoromycotina Mucoromyceta is a subkingdom of fungi which includes the divisions Calcarisporiellomycota , Glomeromycota , Mortierellomycota and Mucoromycota . This enormous group includes almost all molds .
An immature zygosporangium of the Rhizopus fungus forming from two fused gametangia, showing a "yoke" shape.. The name Zygomycota refers to the zygosporangia characteristically formed by the members of this clade, in which resistant spherical spores are formed during sexual reproduction.
