Aspergillus amoenus M. Roberg (1930) [1] | |
Aspergillus amoenus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus . It is from the Versicolores section. [2] The species was first described in 1930. [1]
Aspergillus is a genus consisting of several hundred mould species found in various climates worldwide.
Aspergillus ustus is a microfungus and member of the division Ascomycota. It is commonly found in indoor environments and soil. Isolated cases of human infection resulting from A. ustus have been described; however the majority of these are nail infections.
Aspergillus mottae is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus first isolated from almonds and maize in Portugal. It is from the Flavi section. The species was first described in 2012.
Aspergillus transmontanensis is a species of fungus in the family Trichocomaceae first isolated from almonds and maize in Portugal. It is from the genus Aspergillus and the Flavi section. It has been reported to produce aflatoxin B and aflatoxin G.
Aspergillus austroafricanus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It is from the Versicolores section. The species was first described in 2012. It has been isolated in South Africa.
Aspergillus creber is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It is from the Versicolores section. The species was first described in 2012.
Aspergillus cvjetkovicii is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus.
Aspergillus fructus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It is from the Versicolores section. The species was first described in 2012.

Aspergillus parasiticus is a fungus belonging to the genus Aspergillus. This species is an unspecialized saprophytic mold, mostly found outdoors in areas of rich soil with decaying plant material as well as in dry grain storage facilities. Often confused with the closely related species, A. flavus, A. parasiticus has defined morphological and molecular differences. Aspergillus parasiticus is one of three fungi able to produce the mycotoxin, aflatoxin, one of the most carcinogenic naturally occurring substances. Environmental stress can upregulate aflatoxin production by the fungus, which can occur when the fungus is growing on plants that become damaged due to exposure to poor weather conditions, during drought, by insects, or by birds. In humans, exposure to A. parasiticus toxins can cause delayed development in children and produce serious liver diseases and/or hepatic carcinoma in adults. The fungus can also cause the infection known as aspergillosis in humans and other animals. A. parasiticus is of agricultural importance due to its ability to cause disease in corn, peanut, and cottonseed.
Aspergillus wentii is an asexual, filamentous, endosymbiotic fungus belonging to the mold genus, Aspergillus. It is a common soil fungus with a cosmopolitan distribution, although it is primarily found in subtropical regions. Found on a variety of organic materials, A. wentii is known to colonize corn, cereals, moist grains, peanuts and other ground nut crops. It is also used in the manufacture of biodiesel from lipids and is known for its ability to produce enzymes used in the food industry.
Aspergillus floridensis is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It belongs to the group of black Aspergilli that are used in industry to create enzymes and other products. It is from the Nigri section. The species was first described in 2012.
