Abstract: The genus Aspergillus P. Micheli is among the most abundant fungi worldwide. Numerous species belonging to this genus have been reported to contaminate food and cause infections. We isolated Aspergillus hongkongensis C.C. Tsang et al. from eggplant flour sold in Recife, Brazil. The isolate was identified using morphological and molecular analyses (beta-tubulin and calmodulin genes). This is the first record of A. hongkongensis in South America and the third report worldwide. Our study contributes to a better understanding of the phenotypic variations in this species, as well as the geographic distribution of Aspergillus species.

First report of Penicillium costaricense Visagie, M. Urb & Seifert (Eurotiales, Ascomycota) in South America and a second report for the world https://checklist.pensoft.net/article/55476/ Check List 16(6): 1457-1463

DOI: 10.15560/16.5.1457

Authors: Laureana de Vasconcelos Sobral, Diogo Xavier Lima, Joenny Maria da Silveira de Lima, Renan do Nascimento Barbosa, Roberta Cruz, Cristina Maria de Souza-Motta

Abstract: Penicillium costaricense was isolated in air samples from a surgery center in a public hospital in Brazil. The only published data on the occurrence of this species is from caterpillar intestine of Rothschildia lebeau in Costa Rica. The isolate was identified by morphology together with the molecular markers β-tubulin and calmodulin. This report is a warning call to understand the pathogenicity of this species. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of P. costaricense in South American and the second in the world.

First report of Penicillium brasilianum Bat., P. cluniae Quintan., and P. echinulonalgiovense S. Abe ex Houbraken & R.N. Barbosa (Eurotiales, Aspergillaceae) as endophytes from a bromeliad in the Caatinga dry forest in Brazil https://checklist.pensoft.net/article/54377/ Check List 16(4): 1055-1061

DOI: 10.15560/16.4.1055

Authors: Karla T.L.S. Freire, Gianne R. Araújo-Magalhães, Sandy S. Nascimento, Laura M. Paiva, Renan N. Barbosa, Jadson D.P. Bezerra, Cristina M. Souza-Motta

Abstract: Penicillium brasilianum Bat., P. cluniae Quintan., and P. echinulonalgiovense S. Abe ex Houbraken & R.N. Barbosa are reported for the first time as endophytes from the leaves of an endemic bromeliad in the Caatinga dry forest in Brazil. For species determination, phenotypic features were analysed along with the sequencing of the β-tubulin and calmodulin genes. Penicillium Link isolates obtained in this study showed the typical morphology of species in the Lanata-Divaricata section. These results contributed to increase the knowledge of fungal diversity in dry environments in the word.
