Cladosporium cladosporioides is a darkly pigmented mold that occurs world-wide on a wide range of materials both outdoors and indoors. It is known for its role in the decomposition of organic matter and its presence in indoor and outdoor environments.
Cladosporium is a genus of fungi including some of the most common indoor and outdoor molds. Some species are endophytes [ 2 ] or plant pathogens, while others parasitize fungi. Description
Cladosporium herbarum is the type species of the genus Cladosporium. [5] [7] Its spores are highly prevalent in the air; the genus Cladosporium is the dominant genus of spores found in the air, with the C. herbarum species contributing the highest percentage to this group. [2]

Cladosporium sphaerospermum is a radiotrophic fungus [1] [2] belonging to the genus Cladosporium and was described in 1886 by Albert Julius Otto Penzig from the decaying leaves and branches of Citrus. [3] It is a dematiaceous (darkly-pigmented) fungus characterized by slow growth and largely asexual reproduction.
The calphostins are a class of closely related chemical compounds isolated from the fungus Cladosporium cladosporioides. [1] [2] The known calphostins include calphostin A, calphostin B, calphostin C, calphostin D, and calphostin I. The calphostins are inhibitors of protein kinase C (PKC).
Cladosporium oxysporum is an airborne fungus that is commonly found outdoors and is distributed throughout the tropical and subtropical region, it is mostly located In Asia and Africa. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It spreads through airborne spores and is often extremely abundant in outdoor air during the spring and summer seasons. [ 3 ]
Further research conducted at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine showed that three melanin-containing fungi—Cladosporium sphaerospermum, Wangiella dermatitidis, and Cryptococcus neoformans—increased in biomass and accumulated acetate faster in an environment in which the radiation level was 500 times higher than in the normal environment.
