The Bioactive Secondary Metabolites from Talaromyces species

Abstract

The name Talaromyces is derived from the Greek word for ‘basket’, which aptly describes the body in which ascospores are formed. In the past, species producing sexual stages with Penicillium anamorphs have been classified in Eupenicillium and Talaromyces . After July 2011, species formally classified in the Penicillium subgenus Biverticillium were classified in Talaromyces . The situation is complicated by the fact that many species now classified in Talaromyces will continue to be sought as Penicillium species in identifications [ 1 ]. So in this review, all of the papers which reported the secondary metabolites from the species named Talaromyces were covered.
