“…However, based on the culture morphology and microstructure properties and compared to previous studies which described the fungal species [57,58], the fungal strain was identified as A. aculeatus EAN506. P. pedernalense EAN604 shows the highest homology with P. mariae-crucis, P. brasilianum, P. simplicissimum, P. pulvillorum, and T. biappendiculata (Figure 11) However, T. biappendiculata was totally excluded since it has different spore morphology [59]; P. brasilianum was excluded based on the culture morphology reported by Freire et al [60]; while P. pulvillorum was excluded based on the spore's morphology as reported by Mansouri et al [61]. Together with the morphological characteristics in comparison with Laich and Andrade [36], the fungal strain was recognized as P. pedernalense EAN604.…”

Fungi have unique properties and are used in many areas of agriculture and industry because they can produce different enzymes. This study aims to study the fungal diversity in peat soil from Pontian in Johor, Malaysia. The fungal isolates were described on different culture media and on a new culture medium called EVA medium and were identified using the phenotypical characteristics and molecular properties of the D1/D2 domain of the 28S large subunit ribosomal RNA (28S rRNA) and ITS (ITS1-ITS4) rDNA regions. The results revealed that 14 fungal species (15 isolates) were identified, among them, 6 were categorized as newly isolated strains and recorded in Malaysia; these include Aspergillus arenarioides EAN603, A. iizukae EAN605, Paraconiothyrium brasiliense EAN202, Parengyodontium album EAN602, Penicillium pedernalense EAN604, and Purpureocillium lilacinum EAN601. The cultural, morphological, microstructure, and molecular characteristics of these new strains have been described in this study. It was noted that the EVA medium exhibited a moderate support for fungal growth and sporulation compared to other culture media. Furthermore, the efficiency of the new medium as an enrichment medium to isolate fungi from peat soils with high ligninolytic content was discussed.

Certain Penicillium species are emerging opportunistic pathogens. While these can be common causes of airborne contamination of clinical cultures, an increasing number of reports describe clinically significant disease in the immunocompromised population, particularly in patients with hematologic malignancy. The typical site of infection is respiratory but disseminated infection is also reported with some frequency. Therefore, culture growth of Penicillium in respiratory and other clinical samples from immunocompromised patients requires thorough investigation with clinical correlation. Here we report a case of angioinvasive Penicillium cluniae infection of the right shin in a patient with acute myeloid leukemia and review reported cases of invasive Penicillium infection (excluding Talaromyces marneffei) in hematologic malignancy patients to characterize the emerging pathogen in this vulnerable population.

Cladophialophora bromeliacearum (Herpotrichiellaceae, Chaetothyriales), a novel endophytic species from the Brazilian tropical dry forest

Two isolates of fungal endophytes were obtained from the leaves of Tillandsia catimbauensis (Bromeliaceae) in the Brazilian tropical dry forest (Caatinga), according to their morphology, they were previously identified as Phialophora-like fungi. On the basis of phylogenetic analysis using ITS and LSU rDNA sequences, along with morphological features, these isolates are here described as Cladophialophora bromeliacearum sp. nov. The new species is morphologically characterized by Phialophora-like conidiogenous cells, subspheric to ellipsoid conidia, and the production of chlamydospores in culture.
