Neosartorya galapagensis

Aspergillus galapagensis (also named Neosartorya galapagensis) is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus . It is from the Fumigati section. [2] Several fungi from this section produce heat-resistant ascospores, and the isolates from this section are frequently obtained from locations where natural fires have previously occurred. [2] The species was first described in 2014. [1] It has been isolated from soil in Ecuador. [2] It has been reported to produce gregatins. [2]
