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%.
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.
Rhizopus oligosporus is used to make tempeh, a fermented food derived from soybeans. Rhizopus oryzae is used in the production of alcoholic beverages in parts of Asia and Africa. Rhizopus stolonifer (black bread mold) causes fruit rot on strawberry, tomato, and Sweet potato and is used in commercial production of fumaric acid and cortisone.
Fire ants also sting humans, Frye says, which can cause small pus-filled bumps on the skin, according to the Cleveland Clinic. Other symptoms: Ant bites are typically painful and itchy.
Treatment is generally performed using antifungal medicines, usually in the form of a cream or by mouth or injection, depending on the specific infection and its extent. [15] Some require surgically cutting out infected tissue. [3] Fungal infections have a world-wide distribution and are common, affecting more than one billion people every year ...
Rhizopus oryzae is a filamentous heterothallic microfungus that occurs as a saprotroph in soil, dung, and rotting vegetation. This species is very similar to Rhizopus stolonifer , but it can be distinguished by its smaller sporangia and air-dispersed sporangiospores.
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.
Candida albicans is a kind of diploid yeast that commonly occurs among the human gut microflora. C. albicans is an opportunistic pathogen in humans. Abnormal over-growth of this fungus can occur, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. [7] C. albicans has a parasexual cycle that appears to be stimulated by environmental stress. [8]
