Aspergillus olivicola is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It is from the Nidulantes section.[1] The species was first described in 2008.[2] It has been isolated from fruit in Italy. A. olivicola has been shown to produce aflatoxin B1, emericellin, shamixanthone, siderin, sterigmatocystin, terrain, and varitriol.[3] The genome of A. olivicola was in 2016 sequenced as a part of the Aspergillus whole-genome sequencing project - a project dedicated to performing whole-genome sequencing of all members of the Aspergillus genus.[4] The genome assembly size was 33.17 Mbp.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name (see the help page).
Growth and morphology
A. olivicola has been cultivated on both Czapek yeast extract agar (CYA) plates and Malt Extract Agar Oxoid® (MEAOX) plates. The growth morphology of the colonies can be seen on the pictures below.
