The objective of this review is to provide a synthesis of speciation theory, of what is known
about mechanisms of speciation in fungi and from this, what is expected, and of ideas on …

The genome of Aspergillus oryzae, a fungus important for the production of traditional
fermented foods and beverages in Japan, has been sequenced. The ability to secrete large …

In a prior study, we identified seven clinical isolates of an Aspergillus sp. that were slow to
sporulate in multiple media and demonstrated decreased in vitro susceptibilities to multiple …

Accumulation of the carcinogenic mycotoxin aflatoxin B1 has been reported from members
of three different groups of Aspergilli (4) Aspergillus flavus, A. flavus var. parvisclerotigenus …

Aspergillus flavus populations are genetically diverse. Isolates that produce either, neither,
or both aflatoxins and cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) are present in the field. We investigated …

Aspergillus fumigatus is a medically important opportunistic pathogen and a major cause of
respiratory allergy [1]. The species has long been considered an asexual organism …

Microbes and other organisms smaller than one to a few millimeters in size are
hypothesized to have global populations, in contrast to the geographically restricted ranges …

Molecular approaches are now being developed to provide a more rapid and objective
identification of fungi compared to traditional phenotypic methods. Ribosomal targets …

Written by international experts, this book provides a comprehensive picture of the state-of-
the-art in aflatoxin research and control. It considers the worldwide impact of aflatoxins and …

In micro-organisms biodiversity is often underestimated because relevant criteria for
recognition of distinct evolutionary units are lacking. Phylogenetic approaches have been …
