Abstract

Aspergillus section Flavipedes contains species that are found world-wide in soils and rhizospheres, indoor and cave environments, as plant endophytes, food contaminants and occasionally cause human pathogens. They are producers of many bioactive and extensively studied secondary metabolites and biotechnologically relevant enzymes. The taxa were revised based on phylogenetic analysis of sequences from four loci (β-tubulin, calmodulin, RPB2 and ITS rDNA), two PCR fingerprinting methods, micro- and macromorphology and physiology. Sect. Flavipedes includes three known and seven new species: A. ardalensis, A. frequens, A. luppii, A. mangaliensis, A. movilensis, A. polyporicola and A. spelaeus. The name A. neoflavipes was proposed for Fennellia flavipes a distinct species from its supposed asexual state A. flavipes. Aspergillus iizukae, A. frequens and A. mangaliensis are the most common and widely distributed species, whereas A. flavipes s. str. is a rare species. A dichotomous key based on the combination of morphology and physiology is provided for all recognized species. Aspergillus section Jani is proposed for A. janus and A. brevijanus, species previously classified as members of sect. Versicolores, Terrei or Flavipedes. This new section is strongly supported by phylogenetic data and morphology. Section Jani species produce three types of conidiophores and conidia, and colonies have green and white sectors making them distinctive. Accessory conidia found in pathogenic A. terreus were found in all members of sects. Flavipedes and Jani. In addition, our data indicated that A. frequens sp. nov. is a clinically relevant species that produces accessory conidia during infection.
