Mucor circinelloides: Growth, Maintenance, and Genetic Manipulation [PDF]
Current Protocols in Microbiology, 2018 AbstractMucor circinelloides is a fungus that belongs to the order Mucorales. It grows as mold in the environment and can cause mucormycosis, a potentially fatal infection in immunocompromised patients. M. circinelloides is a biodiesel producer and serves as a model organism for studying several biological processes, such as light responses and RNA ...

Alteration of Fermentative Metabolism Enhances Mucor circinelloides Virulence [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2020 The fungus Mucor circinelloides undergoes yeast-mold dimorphism, a developmental process associated with its capability as a human opportunistic pathogen. Dimorphism is strongly influenced by carbon metabolism, and hence the type of metabolism likely affects fungus virulence.
