Abstract

Penicillium brevicompactum and other isolates with the compact, complex conidiogenous apparatus typical of the species were sequenced in one ribosomal and two protein coding regions. The aligned DNA sequences were analyzed by maximum parsimony and the data from different loci were tested for compatibility using the partition homogeneity test. Analysis of each of the three loci revealed three clades corresponding to Penicillium brevicompactum, P. olsonii and Penicillium biourgeianum. Using the phylogenetic species concept and the genetic isolation of the clades, we can list P. hagemi Zaleski, P. patrismei Zaleski, P. stoloniferum Thom, and P. griseobrunneum Dierckx as synonyms of P. brevicompactum. Penicillium volgaense Beljakova & Milko is a synonym of Penicillium olsonii. Penicillium biourgeianum Zaleski is a distinct species closely related to P. brevicompactum and P. olsonii. Phenotypic distinctions between the species are mostly based on colony characteristics such as colour. Penicillium bialowiezenze Zaleski, often treated as a synonym of P. brevicompactum is most closely related to P. polonicum Zaleski.
