Abstract

Heterothallism was confirmed in Mortierella umbellata from Japan. Anisogamic zygospore formation is described and illustrated with time-lapse light micrographs. The anisogamic behaviour of the species is discussed with reference to previous studies on anisogamic zygospore and azygospore formation in Zygomycetes.
