Morphological and molecular identification of Rhizopus oryzae AUMC14899. Colony on potato dextrose agar at 25 °C for 1 week (A). Sporangiophore and sporangia at ×40 magnification and scale bar represent 5 µm (B). Phylogenetic relationship between Rhizopus oryzae strain AUMC14899 and other fungal strains retrieved from database, based on partial 18S rRNA gene sequences. The phylogenetic tree was constructed using the neighbor-joining method with the Tamura 3-parameter model with 1000 bootstrap replicates. Value mentioned at nodes is bootstrap values and our strain is mentioned against blue triangle (C)
