Mucor rhizopus

Zygomycosis is an uncommon infection caused by the fungi of the order Mucorales, class Zygomycetes, with the most commonly representative organisms being Mucor, Rhizopus,...

Molds representatives often occur on the rawhide. Many of them have pronounced proteolytic ability. Fungi of Mucor, Rhizopus, Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Oidium genus are observed on the hide. As mentioned above, microbes commonly occur on the surface of the raw, freshly flayed hide, both at the side reticular layer and epidermis. Microtomy on the raw-hide shows the absence of microbes in the tissue, both in near-surfece and deep-in layers. Single cocci may only be infrequently observed in hair bags.

Rhizopus-soft rot is a threat in all postharvest situations including storage, marketing, and transport of crops. It causes soft rot of avocados, cassava, crucifers, pulses, yams, and sweet potatoes. This spoilage type is mainly caused by Rhizopus stolonifer and to a lesser extent by R. oryzae, Mucor piriformis, and Gilbertella persicaria (Dijksterhuis and Samson 2006). 

The biotechnological production of flavour compounds is particularly focused on esters and lactones. Lipase from Mucor miehei is the most widely studied fungal lipase [30-35]. Esters of acids from acetic acid to hexanoic acid and alcohols from methanol to hexanol, geraniol and citronellol have been synthesised using lipases from Mucor miehei, Aspergillus sp., Candida rugosa, Rhizopus arrhizus and Trichosporum fermentans [32-37].

In an alternate process, enantioselective microbial reduction of 6-oxobus-pirone (19, Fig. 18.6) to either (R)- and (.S )-6-hydroxybuspirone was described. About 150 microorganisms were screened for the enantioselective reduction of 19. Rhizopus stolonifer SC 13898, Rhizopus stolonifer SC 16199, Neuros-pora crassa SC 13816, Mucor racemosus SC 16198, and Pseudomonas putida SC 13817 gave >50% reaction yields and >95% ee s of (,S )-6-hydroxybuspi-rone. The yeast strains Hansenula polymorpha SC 13845 and Candida maltosa SC 16112 gave (R)-6-hydroxybuspirone in >60% reaction yield and >97% ee (Patel et aL, 2005).
