Abstract

The zygomycete Rhizopus oryzae is currently identified by sporangiophore morphology and the growth temperature, but heterogeneity of the species has been reported. We examined the suitability of organic acid production as an effective taxonomic character for reclassification of the species. Strains were divided into two groups, LA (lactic acid producer) and FMA (fumaric-malic acid producers) according to organic acid production. These grouping were confirmed as phylogenetically distinct, because analyses of rDNA ITS, lactate dehydrogenase B, actin, translation elongation factor-1??, and genome-wide AFLP resolved the same two exclusive clusters, corresponding with the organic acid grouping. Reclassification of strains in the FMA group as R. delemar was proposed.
