Aspergillus biplanus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It is from the Sparsi section.[5][6] The species was first described in 1965.[1] It has been isolated from soil in Costa Rica.[5] It has been reported to produce auroglaucin.[5]

Growth and morphology

A. biplanus has been cultivated on both Czapek yeast extract agar (CYA) plates and Malt Extract Agar Oxoid® (MEAOX) plates. The growth morphology of the colonies can be seen in the pictures below.
