Aspergillus flavus is a saprotrophic and pathogenic [1] fungus with a cosmopolitan distribution. [2] It is best known for its colonization of cereal grains , legumes , and tree nuts . Postharvest rot typically develops during harvest, storage, and/or transit.
In March 2010, Aspergillus covered 837 species of fungi. [5] Notable species placed in Aspergillus include: Aspergillus flavus is a notable plant pathogen impacting crop yields and a common cause of aspergillosis. Aspergillus fumigatus is the most common cause of aspergillosis in individuals with an immunodeficiency.
The fungus was originally classified as a subspecies of A. flavus called Aspergillus flavus subsp. parasiticus (Speare) due to its strong resemblance to A. flavus. Indeed, this fungus is very closely related to A. flavus [3] and is often misidentified as the latter. [3] However, the two species are separable based on morphological features. [3]
The sequenced strain isolated in 1950 is called RIB40 or ATCC 42149; its morphology, growth, and enzyme production are typical of strains used for sake brewing. [28] The increased number of genes in Aspergillus oryzae are responsible for the function of proteins and cellular processes such as hydrolase, transporters, and metabolism. The ...

Aspergillus nomius is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus.It is from the Flavi section. [2] The species was first described in 1987. [1] It has been reported to produce aflatoxin B1, aflatoxin B2, aflatoxin G1, aflatoxin G2, aspergillic acid, kojic acid, nominine, paspaline, pseurotin, and tenuazonic acid. [2]
The maxillary sinus is the most commonly involved. Fungi responsible for fungal sinusitis are Aspergillus fumigatus (90%), Aspergillus flavus, and Aspergillus niger. Fungal sinusitis occurs most commonly in middle-aged populations. Diabetes mellitus is the most common risk factor involved. [3]
The Aspergillaceae are a family of fungi in the order Eurotiales which are commonly known as the blue and green molds. [4] [5] The family includes the commonly known and observed genera of Aspergillus [6] and Penicillium [7] amongst other lesser known mold genera but also includes larger ascomycete fungi such as Penicilliopsis.
