Aspergillus spinulosporus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus . It is from the Nidulantes section. [2] It was first described in 2016. [1] It has been reported to produce asperthecin, echinocandin B1, desferritriacetylfusigen, and sterigmatocystin. [2]
In 2016, the genome of A. spinulosporus was, under the name A. neoechinulatus, 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 30.67 Mbp. [3]
A. spinulosporus 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.
