Rhizopus occurs on stale bread in warm and moist season. It is saprobic and has affinity for carbohydrate rich organic food. The mycelium has different types of hyphae which are…
Asexual reproduction occurs by sporangiospores, chlamydospores and oidia. These all are mitospores. Sporangiospores are developed under favorable conditions. Around 2 to 5 sporangiophores develop from holdfast. The tip of spoarangiophore…
