Ciri dan struktur
The species is a part of a complex phylogeny and classification, but the group this species is in differs from others in the order Mucorales by their sporangial structure, their spore shape and size, as well as in their dichotomously branched hyphae. The sporangial structure is generally branched, producing sympodially proliferated sporangiospores. The spores are tinted pink (though some discussion has been on whether the pigmentations come from the spores, the sporangium itself, or even from the spore drop from the evanescent sporangial wall). Another characteristic morphological feature is the variation of the sporangiospore shape and size. The shapes vary from subglobose, rounded oblong, and ellipsoidal. The spore sizes vary from 2.2-3.9 μm by 1.3-2.0 μm. The wide ranges are characteristic of the species, but the three sub clades have been shown to account for that difference, each with their own ranges (Ogawa et al. 2005). The variation in the spore shape is thought to be a result of packing spores in a rigid sporangial wall. This prevents the development of round spores when they come to maturity, though differences in this effect are seen throughout the subclades (Tokumasu et al. 1990). U. ramanniana has been observed to have microchlamydospores, ranging from 4.9 ± 0.4 – 9.1 ± 0.8 μm, as well as the potential for macrochlamydospores, though not observed in all subclades. The chlamydospores have been observed to be filled with lipids. Umbelopsis ramanniana is not known to form any sexual structures, and are lacking in zygospores. The species is further characterized by its velvety colonies, a rudimentary columella being subglobose to flattened, and is lacking in the garlic-like odor that is common in the Mortierella isabellina-Group that U. ramanniana was originally thought to belong to.
Habitat dan peran ekologis
As of today, the exact ecological role of this fungus is not completely understood. It is a common soil saprobe, but has also been observed in other locations. It has been recorded in Great Britain, Hong Kong, Ireland, Kerala, Mauritius, New Zealand North, Ontario, Peninsular Malaysia, Queensland, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Victoria, and throughout the US. The most prevalent studies have shown Umbelopsis ramanniana to be present in leaf litter, animal dung, on the roots and within the xylem of some conifers, and on spore producing bodies of some ascomycetes including the ascocarp of Peziza species. Specifically, in reference to the roots and xylem tissue of some trees, it has been observed within the soil in the root zone, with an affinity for fine roots, as well as within root core samples as an endophyte of certain conifers, including Picea abies and the Ponderosa pine. A study by Hoff et al. in 2004 researched the soil mycology before and after a change in the soil environment, in this case a forest fire, to see how the fungal populations changed. U. ramanniana was one of the first to bounce back, with affinity for the ponderosa pine, leading the authors to believe that it is a common endophyte and soil saprobe that is favored by disturbance in a dry environment.
