Aspergillus aculeatinus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It belongs to the group of black Aspergilli which are important industrial workhorses. [2] [3] [4] A. aculeatinus belongs to the Nigri section. The species was first described in 2008. [1] A. aculeatinus has been isolated from Thai coffee beans. It has been shown to produce neoxaline, secalonic acid D and F, and aculeacins. [1]
The genome of A. aculeatinus 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. [5] The genome assembly size was 36.47 Mbp. [5]
Apsergillus aculeatinus 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.
