Penicillium roqueforti is a common saprotrophic fungus in the genus Penicillium.Widespread in nature, it can be isolated from soil, decaying organic matter, and plants. The major industrial use of this fungus is the production of blue cheeses, flavouring agents, antifungals, polysaccharides, proteases, and other enzymes.
A type called penicillium roqueforti is used to make blue cheeses like roquefort, gorgonzola and stilton, the experts note. Penicillium camemberti is used to make camembert and brie cheese, which ...
Roquefortine C is a mycotoxin that belongs to a class of naturally occurring 2,5-diketopiperazines [1] produced by various fungi, particularly species from the genus Penicillium. [2] It was first isolated from a strain of Penicillium roqueforti , a species commercially used as a source of proteolytic and lipolytic enzymes during maturation of ...
Penicillium camemberti and Penicillium roqueforti are the molds on Camembert, Brie, Roquefort, and many other cheeses. Penicillium nalgiovense is used in soft mold-ripened cheeses, such as Nalžovy (ellischau) cheese, and to improve the taste of sausages and hams, and to prevent colonization by other molds and bacteria.
Infants in homes with mold have a much greater risk of developing asthma and allergic rhinitis. [10] [11] Infants may develop respiratory symptoms due to exposure to a specific type of fungal mold, called Penicillium. Signs that an infant may have mold-related respiratory problems include (but are not limited to) a persistent cough and wheeze.

Penicillin Roquefort toxin (PR toxin) is a mycotoxin produced by the fungus Penicillium roqueforti.In 1973, PR toxin was first partially characterized by isolating moldy corn on which the fungi had grown. [1]
Penicillium roqueforti is the cause of the blue veins in Roquefort cheese. In addition to Penicillium roqueforti , various yeasts are present, namely Debaryomyces hansenii and its non-sporulating form Candida famata , and Kluyveromyces lactis and its non-sporulating form Candida sphaerica. [ 35 ]
