• Bacterial-Fungal Interactions: Hyphens between Agricultural, Clinical, Environmental, and Food Microbiologists (2011, background): “The antimitotic toxin rhizoxin is an important component in the pathogenicity of the rice seedling blight pathogen Rhizopus microsporus; however, the synthesis of rhizoxin is performed not by the fungus but by Burkholderia bacteria living within its hyphae (298, 341).”

• Microbial interactions within the plant holobiont (2018, positive): “) of a pathogenic Rhizopus fungus produces a toxin that provides fitness benefit to the fungus and is required for successful fungal colonization of rice plants [140].”
• Pathogenesis of mucormycosis. (2012, background): “Organisms that have been rendered to be bacteria free by ciprofloxacin treatment or those that cannot produce rhizoxin because of the absence of Burkholderia are still pathogenic in mouse and fruit fly models of infection [55].”
• Intimate bacterial–fungal interaction triggers biosynthesis of archetypal polyketides in Aspergillus nidulans (2009, background): “In addition to the wellknown lichen-forming fungal-cyanobacterial symbiosis, there are even instances in which (myco)toxins are actually produced by bacteria residing within the fungal cytosol (28) and in which the fungal sporulation strictly depends on the presence of endobacteria (29).”
• Bioactive natural products from marine sponges and fungal endophytes (2010, background): “It is known that some fungi harbour endosymbiotic bacteria as recently reported for the fungus Rhizopus sp. that is colonized by Burkholderia sp. (Partida-Martinez and Hertweck 2005).”
