Mucor is a microbial genus of approximately 40 species of molds and dimorphic fungi in the family Mucoraceae.[1][2][3] The genus includes both pathogenic and avirulent species, and some members of it can be utilized in biotechnical applications.[4] These fungi are commonly found in soil, digestive systems, plant surfaces, some cheeses like Tomme de Savoie, rotten vegetable matter and iron oxide residue in the biosorption process.
