Mucoromycotina

Mucoromycota is a division within the kingdom fungi.[1] It includes a diverse group of various molds, including the common bread molds Mucor and Rhizopus.[2] It is a sister phylum to Dikarya.[3][4]

Informally known as zygomycetes I, Mucoromycota includes Mucoromycotina, Mortierellomycotina, and Glomeromycotina, and consists of mainly mycorrhizal fungi, root endophytes, and plant decomposers.[3] Mucoromycotina and Glomeromycotina can form mycorrhiza-like relationships with nonvascular plants.[5] Mucoromycota contain multiple mycorrhizal lineages,[6] root endophytes,[7] and decomposers of plant-based carbon sources.[8] Mucoromycotina species known as mycoparasites, or putative parasites of arthropods are like saprobes.[9] When Mucoromycota infect animals, they are seen as opportunistic pathogens.[3] Mucoromycotina are fast-growing fungi and early colonizers of carbon-rich substrates.[10] Mortierellomycotina are common soil fungi that occur as root endophytes of woody plants and are isolated as saprobes.[11] Glomeromycotina live in soil, forming a network of hyphae, but depend on organic carbon from host plants. In exchange, the arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi provide nutrients to the plant.[12]
