Emericella desertorum[3]

Aspergillus desertorum is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus which has been isolated from desert soil.[4][5][3][1] It is from the Nidulantes section.[6] Aspergillus desertorum produces desertorin A, desertorin B, desertorin C, paxiline and emindol DA.[7][8][9][10]

In 2016, the genome of A. desertorum was sequenced as a part of the Aspergillus whole-genome sequencing project - a project dedicated to performing whole-genome sequencing of all members of the genus Aspergillus.[11] The genome assembly size was 29.04 Mbp.[11]

Growth and morphology

A. desertorum 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.
