AI Article Synopsis
- A new species named Eupenicillium bovifimosum was discovered in dry cow manure in Wyoming, USA.
- Its unique features include thick penicilli with long, broad conidia columns and smooth, unflanged ascospores that develop within three weeks.
- The species produces various bioactive compounds, including penicillic acid and others resembling fumagillin and patulodin, and phylogenetic analysis shows its closest relatives are E. baarnense and several other Eupenicillium species.
Article Abstract
A new species, Eupenicillium bovifimosum, was isolated from dry cow manure collected in Wyoming, USA. The outstanding morphological characteristics of this species are its robust, dense penicilli bearing long, broad columns of conidia, and its smooth-walled, unflanged ascospores which are produced within 3 wk of inoculation onto MEA. The new species produces penicillic acid, a fumagillin-like molecule, patulodin-like compounds CK2108A and CK2108B, and a compound resembling 2-[(2-hydroxypropionyl)amino]benzamide. Phylogenetic analysis using 1100 bases of the ITS and LSU DNA regions indicates that E. bovifimosum is most closely related to E. baarnense, and also to E. crustaceum, E. egyptiacum, and E. tularense.

Unlabelled: Species of Trichocomaceae occur commonly and are important to both industry and medicine. They are associated with food spoilage and mycotoxin production and can occur in the indoor environment, causing health hazards by the formation of β-glucans, mycotoxins and surface proteins. Some species are opportunistic pathogens, while others are exploited in biotechnology for the production of enzymes, antibiotics and other products.
