Aspergillus aculeatinus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus . It belongs to the group of black Aspergilli, which are important industrial workhorses. [2] [3] [4] A. aculeatinus belongs to the Nigri section. The species was first described in 2008 [1] and has been isolated from Thai coffee beans. It has been shown to produce neoxaline, secalonic acid D and F, and aculeacins. [1]
The genome of A. aculeatinus was sequenced and published in 2014 as part of the Aspergillus whole-genome sequencing project – a project dedicated to performing whole-genome sequencing of all members of the genus Aspergillus. [5] The genome assembly size was 36.47 Mbp. [5]
