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 ]
The order includes: 11 families, 56 genera, and approximately 300 species. Mucoralean classification has traditionally been based on morphological, developmental, and ecological characteristics. Recently, molecular data has revealed that some aspects of traditional
Endogonales is an order of fungi within the phylum of Zygomycota, [2] and in class Endogonomycetes. [3] [4] It contains 2 families; Endogonaceae, with 6 genera and 38 species and Densosporaceae, with one genera and 4 species. [3]
Species of Glomeromycotina produce coenocytic hyphae that can have bacterial endosymbionts. [18] Mortierellomycotina reproduce asexually by sporangia that either lack or have a reduced columella, which support the sporangium. [3] Species of Mortierellomycotina only form microscopic colonies, but some make multicellular sporocarps. [15]
Basidiobolus haptosporus belongs to the Kingdom Fungi and is a member of a grouping known as the "zygomycetes".This classification comprises two Phyla- the Mucoromycota and the Zoopagomycota, which are characterized by the production of sexual zygospores and suspensor cells.
Endogone species are important in the ecology of plant succession in sand dunes Depending on the species, sporocarps have been noted to have the odor of onions, burnt sugar, or fish. [ 9 ] Endogone grows in soil, on rotting wood, sphagnum or other plant material either as saprobes or ectomycorrhizal associates. [ 10 ]
The most studied genera in this order is Mortierella, which contains species that cause crown rot in strawberries. There are currently 6 families and 13 described genera, with more than 100 species. Mortierella polycephala was the first species described in 1863 by Coemans, and named after M. Du Mortier, the president of Société de Botanique ...
The Zoopagomycotina are a subdivision (incertae sedis) of the fungal division Zygomycota sensu lato. [1] It contains 5 families and 20 genera. [2] Relationships among and within subphyla of Zygomycota are poorly understood, and their monophyly remains in question, so they are sometimes referred to by the informal name zygomycetes.
