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 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.
Mucoromycotina Mucoromyceta is a subkingdom of fungi which includes the divisions Calcarisporiellomycota , Glomeromycota , Mortierellomycota and Mucoromycota . This enormous group includes almost all molds .
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.
Zygomycota, or zygote fungi, is a former division or phylum of the kingdom Fungi.The members are now part of two phyla: the Mucoromycota and Zoopagomycota. [1] Approximately 1060 species are known. [2]
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.
Mucor plumbeus is a fungus in the family Mucoraceae (subphylum Mucoromycotina) that is very common, abundant and distributed worldwide. [1] [2] Mucor plumbeus is not known to be a plant or animal pathogen; however it is able to elicit an immune response in humans by activating the complement system. [2]
Mucor circinelloides is a dimorphic fungus [1] belonging to the Order Mucorales (Phylum Mucoromycota). It has a worldwide distribution, found mostly in soil, dung and root vegetables.
