Aspergillus huiyaniae sp nov., a teleomorphic species in sect. Fumigati isolated from desert soil in China

摘要

Aspergillus huiyaniae, a new teleomorphic species isolated from desert soil in Xinjiang, China, was described and illustrated. Aspergillus huiyaniae is characterized by its yellowish white to pale yellow cleistothecia, broadly lenticular ascospores with two equatorial crests and irregularly ribbed to slightly reticulate convex surfaces, and subglobose to ovate or broadly ellipsoidal conidia with smooth walls. This species was supported further by the analyses of the beta-tubulin, calmodulin and actin gene sequences.
