"R . oligosporus " is at present considered to be a domesticated form of " Rhizopus microsporus " and its proper taxonomic position is thus " Rhizopus microsporus var . oligosporus " . " R . microsporus " produces several potentially toxic metabolites, rhizoxin and rhizonins A and B, but it appears the domestication and mutation of the " R . oligosporus " genome has led to the loss of genetic material responsible for toxin production.
