Rhizopus Ehrenb. The classification system in the genus Rhizopus was previously revised based on physiological and morphological characteristics such as size of sporangia and sporangiophore and branching of rhizoids (Schipper 1984; Schipper and Stalpers 1984). Recently, however, molecular identification has been employed by analyses of rDNA ITS, small subunit (SSU), large subunit (LSU), actin [...]

Gongronella Ribaldi Mucorales comprise ubiquitous, mostly saprotrophic organisms and are one of the most ancient groups of fungi. They can be easily isolated fromsoil, dung, water, stored grains, plants, as well as other fungi due to their rapid growth rate and ability to colonize and sporulate on diverse, carbohydrate-rich, terrestrial substrates (Benny 2008; O’Donnell [...]
