Abstract:
Aspergillus taichungensis isolated from a soil sample collected in Taiwan is described as a new species. The new species is characterized by its restricted growth on Czapek’s and malt extract agars and its white to light yellow colonies, radiate conidial heads, smooth and often diminutive conidiophores, hemispherical to elongate vesicles with biseriate aspergilla (conidiogenous cells), globose, micro-verrucose conidia and dark brown sclerotia. The species somewhat resembles A. versicolor, A. terreus and A. flavipes, but differs in cultural and morphological details, and is considered to represent an interface species in the subgenus Nidulantes.
