Aspergillus ibericus belongs to the group of black Aspergilli which are important industrial workhorses.[2][3][4] A. costaricaensis belongs to the Nigri section. Its conidia size is approximately 5–7 μm.[1] The species was first described in 2006.[1] It has been isolated from grapes from Spain and Portugal.[1]
The genome of A. ibericus was sequenced and published in 2014 as part of the Aspergillus whole-genome sequencing project – a project dedicated to performing whole-genome sequencing of all members of the genus Aspergillus.[5] The genome assembly size was 33.44 Mbp.[5]
Growth and morphology[edit]
A. ibericus 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 in the pictures below.
