Penicillium adametzii is an anamorph fungus species of the genus of Penicillium . [3] [4]
Penicillium chrysogenum is a species of fungus in the genus Penicillium. It is common in temperate and subtropical regions and can be found on salted food products, but it is mostly found in indoor environments, especially in damp or water-damaged buildings. It has been recognised as a species complex that includes P. notatum, P. meleagrinum, and P. cyaneofulvum. Molecular phylogeny has established that Alexander Fleming's first discovered penicillin producing strain is of a distinct species, P. rubens, and not of P. notatum. It has rarely been reported as a cause of human disease. It is the source of several β-lactam antibiotics, most significantly penicillin. Other secondary metabolites of P. chrysogenum include roquefortine C, meleagrin, chrysogine, 6-MSA YWA1/melanin, andrastatin A, fungisporin, secalonic acids, sorbicillin, and PR-toxin.
Penicillium rubens is a species of fungus in the genus Penicillium and was the first species known to produce the antibiotic penicillin. It was first described by Philibert Melchior Joseph Ehi Biourge in 1923. For the discovery of penicillin from this species Alexander Fleming shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1945. The original penicillin-producing type has been variously identified as Penicillium rubrum, P. notatum, and P. chrysogenum among others, but genomic comparison and phylogenetic analysis in 2011 resolved that it is P. rubens. It is the best source of penicillins and produces benzylpenicillin (G), phenoxymethylpenicillin (V) and octanoylpenicillin (K). It also produces other important bioactive compounds such as andrastin, chrysogine, fungisporin, roquefortine, and sorbicillins.
Penicillium adametzioides is an anamorph fungus species of the genus of Penicillium, which was isolated from decayed Grapes in Cheongsoo in Korea.
Penicillium alexiae is a fungus species of the genus of Penicillium. Penicillium alexiae is named after Princess Alexia of the Netherlands.
Penicillium amaliae is a fungus species of the genus of Penicillium. Penicillium amaliae is named after Catharina-Amalia Beatrix Carmen Victoria.
Penicillium arianeae is a fungus species of the genus of Penicillium which is named after Princess Ariane of the Netherlands.
Penicillium cairnsense is a fungus species of the genus of Penicillium which produces benzomalvins, citreoviridin, phoenicin, terrain, quinolactacin and decaturin. Penicillium cairnsense is named after Cairns, a city in Australia that is near to where this species was first isolated.
Penicillium austroafricanum is a fungus species of the genus of Penicillium
Penicillium aurantiacobrunneum is a fungus species of the genus of Penicillium.
Penicillium citrinum is an anamorph, mesophilic fungus species of the genus of Penicillium which produces tanzawaic acid A-D, ACC, Mevastatin, Quinocitrinine A, Quinocitrinine B, and nephrotoxic citrinin. Penicillium citrinum is often found on moldy citrus fruits and occasionally it occurs in tropical spices and cereals. This Penicillium species also causes mortality for the mosquito Culex quinquefasciatus. Because of its mesophilic character, Penicillium citrinum occurs worldwide. The first statin (Mevastatin) was 1970 isolated from this species.
Penicillium clavistipitatum is a fungus species of the genus of Penicillium.
Penicillium contaminatum is a fungus species of the genus of Penicillium.
Penicillium cyaneum is a species of the genus of Penicillium which was isolated from an oil-field. Penicillium cyaneum produces fatty acid, Brefeldin A and the antibiotic Cyanein
Penicillium flavescens is a species of the genus of Penicillium.
Penicillium hetheringtonii is a species of the genus of Penicillium which is named after A.C. Hetherington. This species was first isolated from beach soil in Land's End Garden in Treasure Island, Florida in the United States. Penicillium hetheringtonii produces citrinin and quinolactacin.
Penicillium inflatum is an anamorph species of the genus of Penicillium which produces sterigmatocystin. It is from the Cremei section.
Penicillium mallochii is a species of the genus of Penicillium, which was isolated from caterpillars of Rothschildia lebeau and Citheronia lobesis in Costa Rica.
Penicillium nodositatum is an anamorph, biverticillate species of the genus Penicillium which induce the growth of the myconodules in the species Alnus incana.
Penicillium osmophilum is a species of fungus in the genus Penicillium which was isolated from agricultural soil in Wageningen in the Netherlands
Penicillium tsitsikammaense is a species of fungus in the genus Penicillium which was isolated from forest soil from the Tsitsikama forest near Knysna in the Cape Province in South Africa.
