Rhizomucor Picture and Information
Rhizomucor
is a cosmopolitan filamentous fungus found in soil and decaying fruit and
vegetables. While Rhizomucor spp. are often isolated from
fermenting and composting organic matter, they are also rare causes of
serious (and often fatal) infections in humans. Rhizomucor spp.
other than Rhizomucor variabilis are thermophilic in nature and can
grow at temperatures as high as ~54 °C.
The genus Rhizomucor
contains three species; Rhizomucor pusillus, Rhizomucor miehei,
and Rhizomucor variabilis. Rhizomucor variabilis is
phylogenetically very close to Mucor hiemalis [2341].
Maximum growth temperature, biochemical assimilation profile, thiamine
dependency, and the diameter of the sporangia aid in differentiation of
the three Rhizomucor species from each other. Rhizomucor miehei
is homothallic while Rhizomucor pusillus is homo- or heterothallic
 Rhizomucor
