Rediscovery of Penicillium paradoxum (Ascomycete: Aspergillaceae) from Maharashtra, India
Main Article Content
Abstract
Penicillium paradoxum has an enigmatic Aspergillus-like anamorphic state; earlier named as Aspergillus paradoxus with a teleomorph state Hemicarpenteles paradoxus. The present paper describes the rediscovery of this species from India after five decades and includes a phylogenetic study of this strain. This is the first record of this strain from peninsular India including the Western Ghats.
