“…One of the more common species found in dust was P. brevicompactum . Our data suggest that the recently described P. kongii ( Wang & Wang 2013 ) is a synonym of P. brevicompactum . The remaining isolates were identified as P. buchwaldii and P. olsonii .…”

As part of a worldwide survey of the indoor mycobiota, dust was collected from nine countries. Analyses of dust samples included the culture-dependent dilution-to-extinction method and the culture-independent 454-pyrosequencing. Of the 7 904 isolates, 2 717 isolates were identified as belonging to Aspergillus, Penicillium and Talaromyces. The aim of this study was to identify isolates to species level and describe the new species found. Secondly, we wanted to create a reliable reference sequence database to be used for next-generation sequencing projects. Isolates represented 59 Aspergillus species, including eight undescribed species, 49 Penicillium species of which seven were undescribed and 18 Talaromyces species including three described here as new. In total, 568 ITS barcodes were generated, and 391 β-tubulin and 507 calmodulin sequences, which serve as alternative identification markers.

“…This compound was also found in P. brevicompactum . The phylogenetic and morphological study showed that P. kongii belongs to Penicillium section b revicompacta and has some kinship with P. brevicompactum (Wang & Wang 2013). Recently, genome of P. brasilianum has been sequenced (Horn et al 2015), which provides the opportunity to elucidate its biosynthetic pathway.…”

“…MF039288). The method of DNA extraction, the primers for amplifying the aforesaid two genes ( BenA and CaM ), and the polymerase chain reactions followed the methods of Wang and Wang (2013). The phylogenetic trees were drawn using maximum likelihood method and subjected to 1000 bootstrap replications (Frisvad & Samson, 2004) and supplied as Supporting Information Figures S1 and S2.…”

Two new secondary metabolites, kongiilines A and B (1, 7), and two asperphenamate derivatives, asperphenamates B and C (5–6), together with 16 known compounds (2–4, 8–20), were isolated from Tibetan Plateau fungi Penicillium kongii and Penicillium brasilianum. This is the first report on asperphenamates B and C as naturally occurring compounds, and that aspterric acid is isolated from P. brasilianum for the first time. Their structures were elucidated by different spectroscopic techniques including high-resolution electrospray ionisation mass spectrum, 1D nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and 2D NMR as well as electronic circular dichroism. Compounds 4, 5, and 10 exhibited cytotoxicity activities against human colon carcinoma HCT116 cell line with IC50 values of 88.16, 77.68, and 36.92 μM, respectively. Fungi from Tibetan Plateau represent important and rich resources for the investigation of new chemicals.

“…(2012a) used as guide. Penicillium kongii was recently introduced as a close relative of P. brevicompactum ( Wang & Wang 2013 ). Even though this species formed a coherent clade distinct from the P. brevicompactum ex-type strain, on examining additional strains previously identified as P. brevicompactum , the P. kongii clade is resolved within the P. brevicompactum clade.…”

Penicillium is a diverse genus occurring worldwide and its species play important roles as decomposers of organic materials and cause destructive rots in the food industry where they produce a wide range of mycotoxins. Other species are considered enzyme factories or are common indoor air allergens. Although DNA sequences are essential for robust identification of Penicillium species, there is currently no comprehensive, verified reference database for the genus. To coincide with the move to one fungus one name in the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi and plants, the generic concept of Penicillium was re-defined to accommodate species from other genera, such as Chromocleista, Eladia, Eupenicillium, Torulomyces and Thysanophora, which together comprise a large monophyletic clade. As a result of this, and the many new species described in recent years, it was necessary to update the list of accepted species in Penicillium. The genus currently contains 354 accepted species, including new combinations for Aspergillus crystallinus, A. malodoratus and A. paradoxus, which belong to Penicillium section Paradoxa. To add to the taxonomic value of the list, we also provide information on each accepted species MycoBank number, living ex-type strains and provide GenBank accession numbers to ITS, β-tubulin, calmodulin and RPB2 sequences, thereby supplying a verified set of sequences for each species of the genus. In addition to the nomenclatural list, we recommend a standard working method for species descriptions and identifications to be adopted by laboratories working on this genus.
