Saprophytic species of Penicillium and Aspergillus are among the best-known representatives of the Eurotiales and live mainly on organic biodegradable substances. Commonly known in America as molds, they are among the main causes of food spoilage, especially species of subgenus Penicillium. [9] Many species produce highly toxic mycotoxins.
Penicillium spp. commonly grow on plant and animal debris on soil, and in senescing plant tissues. [6] In garlic, it is thought that the pathogen survives in infected cloves rather than the soil. [6] Initial infection usually occurs through wounded plant tissue caused by bruising, sun-scald, freezing injury or mechanical damage to the plant. [6]
This is a list of Penicillium species. The genus has over 300 species. [1] Species. A. Penicillium abidjanum [2] Penicillium adametzii [2] Penicillium ...
The Aspergillaceae are a family of fungi in the order Eurotiales which are commonly known as the blue and green molds. [4] [5] The family includes the commonly known and observed genera of Aspergillus [6] and Penicillium [7] amongst other lesser known mold genera but also includes larger ascomycete fungi such as Penicilliopsis.
Penicillium simplicissimum is an anamorph species of fungus in the genus Penicillium which can promote plant growth. [1] [3] [4] [5] This species occurs on food and its primary habitat is in decaying vegetations [6] Penicillium simplicissimum produces verruculogene, fumitremorgene B, penicillic acid, viridicatumtoxin, decarestrictine G, decarestrictine L, decarestrictine H, decarestrictine I ...
Penicillium claviforme is a species of Penicillium within the phylum Ascomycota. It is found within the subgenus Terverticillium. It has a coremium-type morphology in the sexual structures, named for its resemblance to matchsticks. It is also known as Penicillium vulpinum; or synnema, meaning 'pillow', because of the closely appressed ...
Penicillium chrysogenum (formerly known as Penicillium notatum) 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, [ 1 ] but it is mostly found in indoor environments, especially in damp or water-damaged buildings. [ 2 ]
Penicillium vanoranjei was identified using a combination of morphological traits and genetic analysis on soil samples taken from Tunisia. [2] It is unknown whether the fungus can be used to make penicillin. [1] In May 2014, the International Institute for Species Exploration listed P. vanoranjei as one of the "Top 10 News Species" named in ...
