Rhizopus Sentence Examples
rhizopus
Rhizopus necans is sometimes the cause of extensive destruction of bulbs.
In Rhizopus certain hyphae creep horizontally on the surface of the substratum, and then anchor their tips to it by means of a tuft of short branches (appressorium), the walls of which soften and gum themselves to it, then another branch shoots out from the tuft and repeats the process, like a strawberry-runner.
A mild acidulent, usually vinegar, may be added and a culture containing the fungus Rhizopus oligosporus is then mixed in.
