Option D) Rhizopus is not a member of the division Ascomycota
- Ascomycetes are called sac fungi due to the presence of an 'ascus' which contains the sexual spores of the fungi.
- Like all fungi, they too contain hyphae and mycelium. They can be of different shapes like cup-shaped, club-shaped, golf-ball-shaped, etc.
- The ascus contains ascospores that are produced by sexual reproduction in Ascomycetes.
- One of the most famous fungi Saccharomyces cerevisiae belongs to the division Ascomycota.
- Aspergillus niger, Claviceps purpurea, and Penicillium form ascus and belong to the family Ascomycota.
- Rhizopus belongs to the division Mucoromycota.
