Penicillium digitatum (/ ˌ p ɛ n ɪ ˈ s ɪ l i əm ˌ d ɪ dʒ ɪ ˈ t eɪ t əm /) is a mesophilic fungus found in the soil of citrus-producing areas. [1] [2] [3] It is a major source of post-harvest decay in fruits and is responsible for the widespread post-harvest disease in Citrus fruit known as green rot or green mould.
Aspergillus penicillioides is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus, and is among the most xerophilic fungi. [1]Aspergillus penicillioides is typically found in indoor air, house dust, and on substrates with low water activity, such as dried food, papers affected by foxing, and inorganic objects such as binocular lenses.

Though primarily known as a disease of apples, this plant pathogen can infect a wide range of hosts, including pears, strawberries, tomatoes, corn, and rice. Penicillium expansum produces the carcinogenic metabolite patulin, a neurotoxin that is harmful when consumed. [2] Patulin is produced by the fungus as a virulence factor as it infects the ...
Penicillium expansum, a pathogen of apples and other fruit, produces patulin; Penicillium glabrum; Penicillium glaucum, a mold that is used in the making of some types of blue cheese, including Bleu de Gex, Rochebaron, and some varieties of Bleu d'Auvergne and Gorgonzola. Penicillium imranianum; Penicillium italicum, a Citrus pathogen ...

Pathogens and Disease is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on all pathogens (eukaryotes, prokaryotes, and viruses, including zoonotic pathogens). It was originally established in 1988 as FEMS Microbiology Immunology when it split from FEMS Microbiology Letters .
PLOS supports DORA – the San Francisco Declaration on Research Assessment and uses Article-Level Metrics (ALMs) to measure the impact of articles based on their merits rather than using the journal impact factor. Traditionally, the impact of research articles has been measured by the publication journal, but this particular view examines the ...
The ability of the pathogen to survive within the macrophages probably determines latency of the disease, dissemination and resistance to antifungal agents. In order to survive in the hostile intracellular environment of the macrophage, one of the responses of C. neoformans is to upregulate genes employed in responses to oxidative stress .
