Life cycle of rhizopus & its economic importance
Fungi have a body with branching mycelia and are composed of three types of hyphae- stolons, rhizoids, and unbranched sporangiophores.
Explanation:
Rhizopus reproduce by forming asexual and sexual spores. In asexual reproduction, sporangiospores are produced inside the sporangium. Sporangiophores arise among rhizoids. In sexual reproduction, a dark zygospore is produced at the point of fusion of two mycelia. Upon germination, a zygospore produces genetically modified colonies. Rhizopus are used in industrial processes. R. arrhizus (R. oryzae) is mainly used in the production of lactic acid and cortisone, alcoholic fermentation and biosorption ie., passive adsorption of chemical contaminants. R. stolonifer is used for fumaric acid, lactic acid, and cortisone production, and R. delemar produces fumaric acid and biotin. In Asia, it is regarded important in some foods like tempeh and also in traditional alcoholic beverages.
