Mortierella fungi are normally coenocytic, but in comparison with the genus Mucor (Mucoromycotina, Mucorales), they have a more potent tendency closer to septum formation. Compared with Mucor-like fungi, the microsporangia are commonly smaller, comprise fewer spores, and absence a columella. Many Mortierella-like fungi are asexual. However, if zygospores are located, they strongly resemble Mucor-zygospores. Sometimes sexual systems are embedded in loosely arranged hyphal networks. Mortierella can develop on yeast extract, fish meal, or other media; wealthy in nutrients. Most laboratories develop these fungi on
potato dextrose agar or cornmeal agar. The genus also can develop on PARP media, which is used as a commonplace selective medium for Pythium. Because of its similar appearance to Pythium in tradition, separation of the two may be difficult until sporulation takes place. Cultivation and increase of Mortierella fungi are stricken by the carbon source, the addition of minerals, and nitrogen source. Monosaccharides are maximum frequently used for growth. Yeast extract and soybean meal are broadly used as a nitrogen source. Especially the stability among carbon and nitrogen inside the medium affects the
fungal subculture. Many Mortierella spp. Are chitinolytic. Experiments show that they degrade
chitin nearly as efficaciously as chitinolytic actinomycetes. From a few Mortierella
species it's also recognized that they're able to degrade hemicelluloses to sugar through using the enzyme xylanase. This fungus can degrade the hemicellulose from plant life to get sugars for their boom.
