  • Title: Three new species of Aspergillus section Flavi isolated from almonds and maize in Portugal.
    Author: Soares C, Rodrigues P, Peterson SW, Lima N, Venâncio A.
    Journal: Mycologia; 2012; 104(3):682-97. PubMed ID: 22123651.
    Abstract:
    Three new aflatoxin-producing species belonging to Aspergillus section Flavi are described. They are Aspergillus mottae, A. sergii and A. transmontanensis. These species were isolated from Portuguese almonds and maize. An investigation examined morphology, extrolite production and DNA sequence data to characterize these isolates and describe the new species. Phylogenetic analysis showed that A. transmontanensis and A. sergii form a clade with A. parasiticus whereas A. mottae shares a most recent common ancestor with the combined A. flavus and A. parasiticus clade.
