The majority of these are aquatic (Saprolegnia), some are amphibious (Phytophthora) and some terrestrial (Rhizopus). They live either as strict parasites or saprophytes. Strictly […]

In this article we will discuss about the ways of zygospore germination in lower fungi. (a) The diploid contents of the zygospore (A) undergo meiosis but meiospores are not formed. The zygospore containing the haploid protoplast then directly germinates to give rise to new haplomycelium (B). Monoblepharis is an example. Rarely as in Allomyces, the […]
