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.
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 is a genus of fungus in the Zygomycota phylum. They are known for their strong phototropism response and helical growth of the sporangium. The best studied species is Phycomyces blakesleeanus.
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.
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).
Mortierellales Caval.-Sm., 1998 is a monotypic fungal order, [1] [2] within the phylum of Zygomycota and the monotypic, division of Mortierellomycota. [3] It contains only 1 known family, Mortierellaceae Luerss., Handb. Syst. Bot. 1: 63. 1877, and 6 genera and around 129 species.
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]
