Aspergillus persii is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus which can cause onychomycosis. ^{[1] [2] [3]} and otomycosis ^[4]

It is from the Circumdati section. ^[5] Aspergillus persii produces xanthomegnin and ochratoxin A. ^{[6] [7] [8]}

Growth and morphology

A. persii 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.
