Correct identification of a (genome-sequenced) strain is an essential step in evolutionary
and comparative genomic studies. It came to our attention that the number of publicly …

The entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria pseudobassiana strain RGM 2184 can reach a
maximum efficacy of 80% against the quarantine pest Lobesia botrana in field assays. In this …

RNA modifications play key roles in eukaryotes, but the functions in Aspergillus flavus are
still unknown. Temperature has been reported previously to be a critical environmental …

Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus oryzae are closely related fungal species with contrasting
roles in food safety and fermentation. To comprehensively investigate their phylogenetic …

Background Aspergillus flavus is an important agricultural and food safety threat due to its
production of carcinogenic aflatoxins. It has high level of genetic diversity that is adapted to …

Populations of ochratoxin-producing Aspergillus section Circumdati species and aflatoxin-
producing Aspergillus section Flavi species frequently coexist in soil and are the main …

Objective The use of genome sequences from strains authenticated to correct species level
is a prerequisite for confidently exploring the evolutionary relationship among related …

An in silico study of Aspergillus flavus genome stability uncovered significant variations in
both coding and non-coding regions. The non-coding insertions uniformly consisted of AT …

Aspergillus flavus is the main producer of carcinogenic aflatoxins and thus is one of the most
important fungal food contaminants. Here, we report that the genome of A. flavus strain …

Proper species identification of sequenced fungal isolates or strains is imperative for the
interpretation of genomics data. Through this letter (1), and through another recently …
