Ascocarps of Aspergillus and Penicillium

Abstract

SUMMARYA morphological study of the ascocarps of 29 strains of Aspergillus and Penicillium indicates that these forms comprise five genera of the Eurotiaceae. The perfect stages of Aspergillus are included in the genera Eurotium, Sartorya, and Emericella. Those of Penicillium are included in Carpenteles and Talaromyces, the latter a new genus erected for the forms with ascocarpic walls of interwoven hyphae. Species which had not previously been assigned to an ascomycetous genus are here so assigned.
