Ciri dan struktur
Colonies are white with a spider web-like texture and sparse growth; they have a garlic-like aroma and can measure up to 7.5 cm in diameter after 5 days at 20 °C on malt extract agar. Sporangiophores in this species measure 300–500 μm long: they are 12.5–20 μm wide at the base, being reduced to 3.5–5 μm at the tip. They can be single or come in clusters; primary branches are present mostly in the upper part of the sporangiophore and they may give rise to secondary and tertiary branches of 12–90 μm long. Sporangia are brown, round (globose), with a diameter of 37–75 μm and they can contain 4–20 spores. M. polycephala sporangia can grow well between 10 °C and 25 °C, with an optimum temperature of about 17 °C. Sporangiospores are hyaline, they measure 5.5–13.2 μm long and have an oval to irregular shape. The optimum germination temperature is 27 °C. Zygospores can be up to 1 mm in diameter andare produced by both homothallic and heterothallic mechanisms; they are well formed between 15 °C and 22 °C. Stylospores can be aerial or submerged, they are hyaline and can be found alone or in groups. Their diameter is around 20 μm.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
Mortierella polycephala has been reported on decaying polypores, arable and desert soil, trees such as beech and spruce, flowering plants like Calluna, alfalfa roots, wheat, tomato and cabbage; and other ecosystems like salt marshes and slate slopes. It is a saprotroph fungi, extensively distributed in Europe: Belgium, France, The Netherlands, United Kingdom, Ukraine, Germany and Switzerland; Asia: China, Japan, India and Indonesia; and America: Brazil and Mexico. Its spores are transmitted via air or water movement. Although several articles and books report M. polycephala as a cause of pulmonary infections for cattle and abortion in cattle, a primary source that confirms this statement has not been found and no other sources have reproduced the findings. A single report of animal infection attributed M. polycephala may represent a misidentified strain of M. wolfii.
