8 Zygomycetous Fungi: Phylum Entomophthoromycota and Subphyla Kickxellomycotina, Mortierellomycotina, Mucoromycotina, and Zoopagomycotina

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Systematics and Evolution

Part of the book series: The Mycota ((MYCOTA,volume 7A))

Abstract

In this chapter, the zygomycotan fungi are discussed and some information is provided on their occurrence, distribution, and economic importance. The role of these fungi in food spoilage, as plant pathogens, in zygomycosis, and industry (biotechnology, biodegradation, biosorption, bioremediation, biotransformation), is discussed, as are endobacteria and toxins, light, physiology, and mating. The asexual and sexual reproductive structures are briefly discussed, including the difference between conidia and unispored sporangiola.

In the previous edition of this book, the taxonomy of the Trichomycetes and Zygomycetes (Zygomycota) was based on morphology. The classification of the zygomycotan fungi presented here is based on phylogenetic analysis of several genes. The results of these analyses resulted in one phylum, Entomophthoromycota, and four subphyla (Kickxellomycotina, Mortierellomycotina, Mucoromycotina, Zoopagomycotina). The ordinal distribution in each supraordinal taxon and the maintenance and culture of these fungi are presented.
