Effects of temperature and glucose concentration on the growth and respiration of fungal species isolated from a highly productive coastal upwelling ecosystem

“…Five fungal species were identified: Penicillium decumbens (Thom, 1910) and P. chrysogenum (Thom, 1910), both isolated from the water column; and Acremonium strictum (Gams, 1971), Fusarium fujikuroi (Nirenberg, 1976) and F. sporotrichioides (Sherbakoff, 1915), isolated from surface sediments. A unique strain from each species was used in the experiments ( Table 1).…”

Taxonomy of Penicillium citrinum and related species

“…Notes: Thom (1910) did not designate a type, but a subculture from his original strain was sent, via Kral, to Biourge. Biourge believed that this strain was contaminated and a culture derived from this strain was described as P. aurifluum.…”

An Evaluation of Some Physiological and Biochemical Methods as an Aid to the Characterization of Species of Penicillium Subsection Fasciculata

“…Attempts have been made to introduce physiological and biochemical characters into the taxonomy of Penicillium, a small number of such characters having been incorporated into schemes primarily based on morphology (Thom, 1910;Abe, 1956;Pitt, 1973). Moreover, hydrocarbon assimilation and specific enzyme activities have been investigated for use as taxonomic characters (Nyns et al, 1968;Bridge & Hawksworth, 1984).…”
