“…Since zygospore formation is a complex multistage process (Fig. 3), dysfunctions at any of its stages associated with (1) TSA synthesis and (2) synthesis of β carotene synthe sis-which is a precursor for both TSA and sporopol lenin, an important component of the cell wall in mature zygospores-as well as (3) regulation of zygospore formation, may theoretically result in the inability of pairs of the (+) and (-) strains to form mature zygospores [59,60].…”

The recent data on the pathways of carotenoid biosynthesis, which resulted in revision of the ear lier concepts, are analyzed. Trisporoid diversity and their role in the sexual process of mucoraceous fungi, resulting in formation of sexual cells (zygospores) are discussed. Special attention is paid to the role of trisporic acids in carotenogenesis of combined culture of the (+) and (-) strains, in which zygospores are not formed.
