Aspergillus heteromorphus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. A. heteromorphus belongs to the group of black Aspergilli which are important industrial workhorses.[2][3][4] A. heteromorphus belongs to the Nigri section. The species was first described in 1957.[1] The species has been found in Brazil. It has been isolated from both rice straws, wheat straws, and sugarcane bagasse.[5] This species can produce sclerotia and some mid-polar indole compounds. It produces a series of other not well-characterized exometabolites.
The genome of A. heteromorphus was sequenced and published in 2014 as part of the Aspergillus whole-genome sequencing project – a project dedicated to performing whole-genome sequencing of all members of the genus Aspergillus.[6] The genome assembly size was 35.61 Mbp.[6]
Growth and morphology
[edit]Aspergillus heteromorphus 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.
