👉 Microallomyces is a type of fungus that typically grows in moist environments, often found in soil or on the surface of water bodies like lakes and rivers. These fungi are known for their ability to use small amounts of water as their primary source of energy, allowing them to thrive in conditions where oxygen is scarce. Microallomyces produce an enzyme called mycolic acid, which plays a crucial role in their growth and survival by breaking down organic matter into simpler compounds.
