Mucor mucedo is sensitive to the fungicide captafol (terrazol) which inhibits the apical growth of hyphae and, at lower concentrations, promotes thickening of the fungal cell wall. Terrazol, with its fungistatic effect, induces liberation in phospholipases within the mitochondria and other membranes, leading to a complete lysis of the mitochondria.
Mucor mucedo is vulnerable to captafol (terrazol), which hinders hyphal growth and, at lower doses, enhances cell wall thickening. Terrazol's fungistatic properties trigger phospholipase release in mitochondria and other membranes, leading to complete mitochondrial destruction.
