Taxonomy

The species was first published in 1939 as a variety of Aspergillus nidulans . It was described as separate species in 2016. [1] At the same time, Aspergillus montenegroi and Aspergillus sublatus were found to be homotypic synonyms of A. latus, [1] however as of August 2023, they continue to be listed as accepted species in Index Fungorum .

Ecology

Strains of A. latus have been found worldwide from a variety of sources, notably soil, foods and in association with plants such as Geranium nepalense and Erica . [1]

Growth and morphology

A. latus 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.
