Aspergillus galapagensis (also named Neosartorya galapagensis) is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It is from the Fumigati section.[2] Several fungi from this section produce heat-resistant ascospores, and the isolates from this section are frequently obtained from locations where natural fires have previously occurred.[2] The species was first described in 2014.[1] It has been isolated from soil in Ecuador.[2] It has been reported to produce gregatins.[2]
Growth and morphology
A. galapagensis 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.
