Neurospora sitophila is a species of fungus also known as red bread fungus or orange bread fungus. It is a mold that spoils various foods and is responsible for occupational asthma in the wood and cork industry.[2]

Classification

Chrysonilia sitophila is the anamorphic counterpart of Neurospora sitophila (teleomorph). Its position in the classification is:

Sordariaceae, Sordariales, Sordariomycetidae, Sordariomycetes, Ascomycota, Fungi.[3]

History

At the time of its discovery, in 1843, this fungus was named "Penicillium sitophilum" by Montagne and "Oïdium aurantiacum" by Léveillé,[4] but it is now considered not to belong to either genus Oidium nor Penicillium.

In 1848, Anselme Payen reported that it resisted temperatures above 100 degrees[clarification needed], a fact which played a role in discussions of spontaneous generation.[5]

In 2010, Chrysonilia sitophila, the asexual state of neurospora sitophilia, was found to be linked to a case of occupational asthma in a worker exposed to ground coffee.[6]
