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. Zygos is Greek for "joining" or "a yoke", referring to the fusion of two hyphal strands which produces these spores, and -mycota is a suffix referring to a division of ...
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.

Mucor is a microbial genus of approximately 40 species of molds and dimorphic fungi in the family Mucoraceae. [1] [2] [3] The genus includes both pathogenic and avirulent species, and some members of it can be utilized in biotechnical applications. [4]
Mucoralean fungi are typically fast-growing, and their wide hyphae (long, filamentous structures) lack septa (multi-perforate septa are present only in sporangiophores and gametangia).
The study of reproduction and development in organisms was carried out by many botanists and zoologists.. Wilhelm Hofmeister demonstrated that alternation of generations is a feature that unites plants, and published this result in 1851 (see plant sexuality).
Phycomyces can reproduce via extension of mycelia, or by production of spores either asexually or sexually.The asexual cycle includes the formation of spore containing sporangia borne on the top of sporangiophores that may extend 10 to 15 cm above the surface of the fungal colony from which they emerged.
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.
