Aspergillus persii is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus which can cause onychomycosis.[1][2][3] and otomycosis[4]

It is from the Circumdati section.[5] Aspergillus persii produces xanthomegnin and ochratoxin A.[6][7][8]

Growth and morphology

A. persii 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.
