  • Descrição: This review highlights the variability of fungal spores with respect to cell type, mode of formation and stress resistance. The function of spores is to disperse fungi to new areas and to get them through difficult periods. This also makes them important vehicles for food contamination. Formation of spores is a complex process that is regulated by the cooperation of different transcription factors. The discussion of the biology of spore formation, with the genus Aspergillus as an example, points to possible novel ways to eradicate fungal spore production in food. Fungi can produce different types of spores, sexual and asexually, within the same colony. The absence or presence of sexual spore formation has led to a dual nomenclature for fungi. Molecular techniques have led to a revision of this nomenclature. A number of fungal species form sexual spores, which are exceptionally stress-resistant and survive pasteurization and other treatments. A meta-analysis is provided of numerous D-values of heat-resistant ascospores generated during the years. The relevance of fungal spores for food microbiology has been discussed. •Fungal spores are well equipped vehicles for colonization and spoilage of food.•Novel insights into the complex spore formation may lead to novel techniques to prevent food spoilage.•Implementation of single nomenclature with heat-resistant fungi is discussed.•A meta-analysis of heat-resistance of ascospores is provided.
