Fruiting bodies of Rhizopus oligosporus

Rhizopus oligosporus fungus. Coloured scanning electron micrograph of fruiting bodies and spores of the fungus Rhizopus oligosporus. The fruiting bodies consist of globose sporangia containing large numbers of sporangiospores (small round). Each sporangia is supported by an upright aerial hypha called a sporangiophore (stalk-like). Rhizopus is an important fungal species in food production as it manufactures the essential amino acid tryptophan. R. oligosporus is used in the production of tempeh", a solid fermented meat substitute made from soya beans. Magnification: x140 at 4x7cm size. x500 at 9x5"

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of Rhizopus oligosporus, a fungus known for its fruiting bodies and spores. In this colored scanning electron micrograph, we are presented with a mesmerizing display of nature's artistry. The fruiting bodies take the form of globose sporangia, which house numerous sporangiospores that appear as small round structures. What makes this particular species of Rhizopus significant is its role in food production. It plays a crucial part in manufacturing tryptophan, an essential amino acid. This attribute has led to its utilization in the production of tempeh - a solid fermented meat substitute made from soya beans. The image also highlights the structural elements supporting these fruiting bodies. Each sporangium is uplifted by an upright aerial hypha called a sporangiophore, resembling a stalk-like structure. With magnification at x140 for 4x7cm size and x500 for 9x5", every minute detail becomes visible under scrutiny. This photograph not only captures the scientific essence but also serves as an artistic representation of nature's wonders. Science Photo Library brings us yet another remarkable glimpse into the world of mycology through this stunning portrayal of Rhizopus oligosporus.
