It is a tiny single-celled body usually produced asexually at the tip of the hyphae by most non-flowering plants and fungi. They are functional for asexual reproduction by developing into the new individual without the formation of gametes. It is in Aspergillus spores.
Sporangiospores
The sporangiophores are the spores which are produced in the sporangia. Fungi produce them - mosses not included for generational propagation. Rhizopus uses it for spore formation.
Zygospore
In many fungi, the zygospore – a diploid reproductive stage in their life cycles is created by the nuclear fusion of haploid cells of the spores. The zygospores occur in the black bread mold its scientific name is Rhizopus stolonifer.
Fungi replication
The replication of fungi is a form of reproduction just as in plants. However, the process of replication is very fast and hence in the case of a disease-causing fungus the disease easily spreads. The method of replication can be through budding as in for yeast cells. The DNA and organelle transfer is very first, and two buds can form at the same time doubling the number of pathogenic fungi within a short period.
Control the growth of microbes.
One would want to control the growth of microbes in cases where there is need to reduce the rate of food spoilage and in cases where the microbe is to be used as a vaccine
In the case of food preservation one method is through heat sterilization depending on the temperature at the microbes can be killed secondly there is freezing, some microbes are very sensitive to low temperatures taking black bread mold as an example hence the rate of its replication is reduced by tenfold.
Using a microbe for vaccine means that it has to be inactive or dead. The control conditions involve extreme conditions that either kills the bacterium or rendering it inactive such as freezing in hydrogen gas to very low temperatures as in the case of measles causing bacteria.
