Viewing the fungi under a microscope, Micheli was reminded of the shape of an aspergillum (holy water sprinkler), from Latin spargere (to sprinkle), and named the genus accordingly. [2] [3] Aspergillum is an asexual spore-forming structure common to all Aspergillus species; around one-third of species are also known to have a sexual stage. [4]
Aspergillus niger is a mold classified within the Nigri section of the Aspergillus genus. [1] The Aspergillus genus consists of common molds found throughout the environment within soil and water, on vegetation, in fecal matter, on decomposing matter, and suspended in the air. [ 2 ]
Aspergillus montevidensis is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus.It is from the Aspergillus section. [2] The species was first described in 1931. [1] It has been reported to produce apolar indoloterpenes, asperflavin in few isolates, auroglaucin, dihydroauroglaucin, echinulins, epiheveadrides, flavoglaucin, isoechinulins, neoechinulins, and tetrahydroauroglaucin.
Aspergillus chevalieri is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It is from the Aspergillus section. [2] The fungi in the Aspergillus section are known for their ability to grow at extremely low water activities. [2] The species was first described in 1926. [1] It has since been reported as an opportunistic pathogen causing skin ...
Aspergillus pseudoglaucus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus.It is from the Aspergillus section. [2] The species was first described in 1929. [1] It has been reported to produce asperentins, asperflavin, auroglaucin, bisanthrons, dihydroauroglaucin, echinulins, erythroglaucin, 6-farnesyl-5,7-dihydroxy-4-methylphthalide, flavoglaucin, isoechinulins, mycophenolic acid, neoechinulins ...
Aspergillus penicillioides is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus, and is among the most xerophilic fungi. [1]Aspergillus penicillioides is typically found in indoor air, house dust, and on substrates with low water activity, such as dried food, papers affected by foxing, and inorganic objects such as binocular lenses.

Aspergillus fumigatus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus, and is one of the most common Aspergillus species to cause disease in individuals with an immunodeficiency. Aspergillus fumigatus , a saprotroph widespread in nature, is typically found in soil and decaying organic matter, such as compost heaps, where it plays an essential ...
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 .
