Aspergillus bisporus Kwon & Chung (1971) [1] | |
Aspergillus bisporus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus . It is from the Bispori section. [2] The species was first described in 1971. [1]
The genome of A. bisporus was sequenced as a part of the Aspergillus whole-genome sequencing project - a project dedicated to performing whole-genome sequencing of all members of the genus Aspergillus. [3] The genome assembly size was 27.10 Mbp. [3]
Aspergillus bisporus has been cultivated on both Czapek yeast extract agar (CYA) plates and Malt Extract Agar Oxoid® (MEAOX) plates. The growth morphology of the colonies can be seen in the pictures below.
Aspergillus restrictus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It is from the Restricti section. The species was first described in 1931. It is xerophilic, frequently found in house dust. Studies have suggested that it is an allergen implicated in asthma. In 2016, the genome of A. restrictus was sequenced as a part of the Aspergillus whole-genome sequencing project - a project dedicated to performing whole-genome sequencing of all members of the genus Aspergillus. The genome assembly size was 23.26 Mbp.
Aspergillus aculeatinus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It belongs to the group of black Aspergilli which are important industrial workhorses. A. aculeatinus belongs to the Nigri section. The species was first described in 2008. A. aculeatinus has been isolated from Thai coffee beans. It has been shown to produce neoxaline, secalonic acid D and F, and aculeacins.
