Aspergillus fijiensis 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. fijiensis belongs to the Nigri section. The species was first described in 2011. [1] It has been isolated from soil in Fiji and from Lactuca sativa in Indonesia. This species is able to grow at 37 °C, and produces asperparalines and okaramins. [1]
The genome of A. fijiensis 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 36.51 Mbp. [5]
A. fijiensis 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.
