Aspergillus unilateralis 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. [3] The species was first described in 1954. [1] It has been reported to produce aszonapyrones and mycophenolic acid. [2]

Growth and morphology

A. unilateralis 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.
