Aspergillus neoglaber explained

Aspergillus neoglaber is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It is from the Fumigati section.[1] Several fungi from this section produce heat-resistant ascospores, and the isolates from this section are frequently obtained from locations where natural fires have previously occurred.[2] The species was first described in 1989.[3] It has been reported to produce asperpentyn, avenaciolide, glabramycin A, B, C, sartoryglabrin A, B, C, and wortmannins.[1]

Growth and morphology

A. neoglaber has been cultivated on both Czapek yeast extract agar (CYA) plates and Malt Extract Agar Oxoid® (MEAOX) plates. The growth morphology of the colonies can be seen in the pictures below.
