Solution(By Examveda Team)
The major storage fungi that affect the food grain is Aspergillus.Storage fungi are fungi that invade grains or seeds during storage. Aspergillus species are highly aerobic and are found in almost all oxygen-rich environments, where they commonly grow as molds on the surface of a substrate, as a result of the high oxygen tension.
Aspergillus is characterized by high levels of genetic diversity and, using protostome divergence as a scale, is as diverse as the Vertebrates phylum although both inter and intra-specific genome structures.
