Abstract:

A new heterothallic fungus, Neosartorya spathulata (anamorph: Aspergillus spathulatus), was isolated from cultivated soil from an Alocasia field (A. macrorrhiza), Tai-Ping Village, Ilan Prefecture, Formosa. The species is characterized by light yellowish cleistothecia, bivalved ascospores with nearly smooth convex surfaces, and the production of two types of conidiophores. Besides morphological differences, it clearly differs from N. fennelliae, the other known heterothallic Neosartorya, by the incompatibility with their tester strains.
