NCIt definition : A genus of fungi within the phylum Zygomycota that are ubiquitous in nature and generally
not considered pathogenic. Members of the Mucor genus produce apical, globular sporangia
supported by columella, and do not produce rhizoids. Though generally thermointolerant,
at least one species, Mucor indicus, may cause opportunistic infections in immunocompromised
individuals to include zygomycosis.;
Alternative definition : CDISC: Any fungal organism that is not assigned to the species level but can be assigned
to the Mucor genus level.;
