Aspergillus taichungensis is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. The species was first described in 1995.[1] It is from the Candidi section.[2] The fungi in the Candidi section are known for their white spores.[2] It has been isolated from soil in Taiwan.[1] A. taichungensis has been shown to produce candidusin C, terphenyllin, and 3-hydroxyterphenyllin.[2]
The genome of A. taichungensis was sequenced as a part of the Aspergillus whole-genome sequencing project - a project dedicated to performing whole-genome sequencing of all members of the genus Aspergillus.[3] The genome assembly size was 27.12 Mbp.[3]
Growth and morphology
Aspergillus taichungensis 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.
