A phylum-level phylogenetic classification of zygomycete fungi based on genome-scale data
1 Sept 2016
Abstract excerpt
Zygomycete fungi were classified as a single phylum, Zygomycota, based on sexual reproduction by zygospores, frequent asexual reproduction by sporangia, absence of multicellular sporocarps, and production of coenocytic hyphae, all with some exceptions.
