These fungi represent different growth forms and diverse taxonomic groups, including Ascomycete, Basidiomycete and Zygomycete species. |
One such fungus is Rhizopus microsporus, a zygomycete found on decaying organic matter, which has previously been reported only in patients who are profoundly immunosupressed. |
Pilobolus, a coprophilous zygomycete, is associated with herbivores. |
The Eccrinales and Amoebidiales are opisthokont protists, previously thought to be zygomycete fungi. |
It accounts for perhaps 2 to 3 per cent of culture confirmed cases of zygomycete infection. |
This study was undertaken to develop a technique that could provide sphaeroplasts from sporangiospores of the zygomycete, Pilobolus. |
