Aspergillus parvulus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus . It is from the Cervini section. [2] The species was first described in 1961. [1] It was isolated from soil in the United States and from feed ingredients in Argentina. [2] A. parvulus has been reported to produce naphthalenones. [2]

The genome of A. parvulus 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 32.73 Mbp. [3]

Growth and morphology

Aspergillus parvulus 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.
