Penicillium striatisporum explained

Penicillium striatisporum is an anamorph species of fungus in the genus Penicillium which was isolated from the rhizosphere of chilli peppers.^{[1] [2] [3]} Penicillium striatisporum has a selective antifungal activity against Candida albicans^[4] This species produces striatisporin A, striatisporolide A,, calbistrin C, deformylcalbistrin A, citromycetin, citromycin, fulvic acid, (-)-2,3-dihydrocitromycetin and (+)-hexylitaconic acid^[5]
