Emericella is a former genus of fungi.
The genus name of Emericella is in honour of Emeric Streatfield Berkeley (1834 - 1898), a British Lieutenant/Major General who served in India.[1] He was also a botanist.[2]
Isolates with biological activity called have been found in marine Emericella. In terms of composition stromemycin is a C-glycoside and a depside. In terms of mechanism of action it is a matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor.[3]
Species described in Emericella were identified as teleomorphs of the Nidulantes subgenus in Aspergillus and were eventually merged following the establishment of the "one fungus : one name" rule in 2011.[4] It was considered to continue usage of the Emericella genus name by breaking up the genus Aspergillus along delineations of subgenera.[4] Currently, the name continues to be used in the naming of the described morphology of teleomorphs in Aspergillus.[4]
