Aspergillusenes are a group of chemical compounds first isolated from a strain of sea fan-derived fungus Aspergillus sydowii. [1] They are sesquiterpenes of the bisabolane-type. [2] A laboratory synthesis of aspergillusene B was reported in 2020. [3]

The hyphae of Aspergillus species range in diameter from 2.5 to 4.5 μm. They have septate hyphae, [28] but these are not always apparent, and in such cases they may be mistaken for Zygomycota. [27] Aspergillus hyphae tend to have dichotomous branching that is progressive and primarily at acute angles of around 45°. [27]
Aspergillus versicolor is a slow-growing species of filamentous fungus commonly found in damp indoor environments and on food products. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It has a characteristic musty odor associated with moldy homes and is a major producer of the hepatotoxic and carcinogenic mycotoxin sterigmatocystin .

Aspergillus restrictus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It is from the Restricti section. [3] The species was first described in 1931. [1] It is xerophilic, frequently found in house dust. Studies have suggested that it is an allergen implicated in asthma.
