DEF

Cellule particulière des champignons de la classe des Zygomycètes, qui évoque un zygote du fait qu'elle résulte d'une gamétangie ou fusion sexuelle de deux rameaux (sans pourtant qu'il y ait de gamètes individualisés), et une spore du fait de ses parois épaisses, de son aptitude à la dispersion et de sa résistance aux conditions défavorables.
