Any fungus of the genus Aspergillus of the Fungi Imperfecti (form-class Deuteromycetes). Species for which the sexual phase is known are placed in the order Eurotiales. A. niger causes black mold on some foods; A. niger, A. flavus, and A. fumigatus cause aspergillosis in humans. A. oryzae is used to ferment sake, and A. wentii to process soybeans
/Penicillium These are two of the most commonly found allergenic fungi in problem buildings Aspergillus comes in many varieties (species) Many of the varieties produce toxic substances It may be associated with symptoms such as sinusitis, allergic bronchiopulmonary aspergillosis, and other allergic symptoms Penicillium is a variety of mold that is very common indoors and is found in increased numbers in problem buildings It also has many varieties, some of which produce toxic substances The symptoms are allergic reactions, mucous membrane irritation, headaches, vomiting, and diarrhea Because the spores of Aspergillus and Penicillium are very similar, they are not differentiated by microscopic analysis and are reported together
is a group of molds which is found everywhere world-wide, especially in the autumn and winter in the Northern hemisphere Only a few of these molds can cause illness in humans and animals Most people are naturally immune and do not develop disease caused by Aspergillus
genus of common molds causing food spoilage and some pathogenic to plants and animals
Aw 0 77; Optimum> 0 97 Conidia dimensions: 3 5 - 5 microns or 4 to 5 microns Less common cause of aspergillosis It has a musty odor It is commonly found in the environment on textiles, in soils, grains, fruits and vegetables It has been reported to cause skin and pulmonary infections It is a common cause of fungal related ear infections-otomycosis
This species is considered common to indoor environments It is widespread in the soil and on plants and is also considered a common contaminant of foods It has a musty odor It is commonly found in the environment on textiles, in soils, grains, fruits and vegetables isolated from tropical and subtropical soils but less frequently from other areas This fungus has an Aw (water activity) of 0 77 with an optimum > 0 97 Conidia (spores) have dimensions of 3 5 - 5 microns or 4 to 5 microns It is reported to be allergenic It is common in secondary organisms following bacterial otitis and is more commonly being implicated in pulmonary disease in immunocompromised hosts It has also been reported to cause skin infections
