Community survey for phytopathogen resources
FungiDB and Ensembl are teaming up to enhance resources for fungal and oomycete plant pathogen research - a collaboration funded by the BBSRC.
We need feedback from the phytopathogen community to help shape which genomes and functional datasets we prioritise.
Please provide your input by completing our short community survey by November 1, 2025:

Rhizopus microsporus var. microsporus str. ATCC 52814 (Rhimi_ATCC52814_1)

Rhizopus microsporus var. microsporus str. ATCC 52814 Assembly and Gene Annotation

About Rhizopus microsporus var. microsporus str. ATCC 52814

Rhizopus microsporus is a fungal plant pathogen infecting maize, sunflower, and rice.

Used in the preparation of traditional soy fermentation such as tempeh and sufu (see Rhizopus oligosporus).

It can also cause a nosocomial infection and necrosis to the infected area, particularly prevalent in pre-term infants. This fungus contains the bacterial endosymbiont Burkholderia rhizoxinica that produces the antitumor drug rhizoxin.
