ISSN 1684–5315 © 2009 Academic Journals Sporangiospore-to-yeast conversion: Model for morphogenesis by C. O. Omoifo Microbial Type Collection Center-1, Institute of Microbial Technology, Sector 39-A, Chandigarh-160 036, India. This report reviewed the specific characteristics of Mucor circinelloides in solid cultures and itsccapacity for multiple anamorphic expressions in synthetic broth, including holoblastic, holothallic, enterothallic conidia, and vesicular conidia head group as well as yeast cells. Attempt was made to show that the sequence of events in the conversion process, with inherent cytosolic nucleation and protoplast formation, to terminal budding yeast cell would serve as a model for studying morphogenetic transformation in the fungi.
