The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and kinetin (KIN) on Mucor indicus growth, cell wall composition, and ethanol production. A semi-synthetic medium, supplemented with 0-5 mg/L hormones, was used for the cultivations (at 32 °C for 48 h). By addition of 1 mg/L of each hormone, the biomass and ethanol yields were increased and decreased, respe...

Newly available genome sequences of two Mucoralean fungi, Phycomyces blakesleeanus and Mucor circinelloides, provide evidence for an ancient whole-genome duplication that contributed to the generation of expanded gene families. These fungi have robust responses to light that can be correlated with the expansion of gene networks involved in light sensing and signaling.

In order to suggest the most effective management strategies, an analysis of fungal flora in soil next biology laboratory at COOU Uli campus was conducted. By plating washings from skin surfaces and liquid taken samples test tubes containing sabourd dextrose agar (SDA) potato (PDA), which had been mixed with streptomycin sulphate prevent bacterial growth, fungi were isolated, characterised, ide...
