First report on the metabolic characterization of Sterigmatocystin production by select species from the section in .

Spices are typically grown in climates that support the growth of toxigenic fungi and the production of mycotoxins. The described in this study, as well as the sterigmatocystin (STC) detected, are causes for concern due to their potential to induce food poisoning. One of the most well-known producers of the carcinogenic STC is .

Substantive Morphological Descriptions, Phylogenetic Analysis and Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms of Species From .

Ascomycetous fungi are found associated with a wide variety of substrates which range from fresh water to marine ecosystems, tropical to temperate forest soils and deserts, throughout the world over. These demystifying fungi exist as endophytes, pathogens and saprobes. They have been studied due to their ability to contaminate foods and feedstuffs, causing an elaboration of mycotoxins.
