abstract = {As part of a study of polycystic kidney disease (PKD), epi- thelial cells were isolated and propagated from cyst walls of human kidneys obtained a nephrectomy. A Penicillium species was found growing with the epithelial cells in some culture flasks. It was monoverticillate and somewhat resembled P. restrictum but differed morphologically from this and all other Penicillium species. Two strains of this fungus were isolated in pure culture and described as the new species Penicillium pimiteouiense. We assayed the new species for ochratoxin A production because various Penicillium and Aspergillus species are known to produce this potent nephrotoxin, and the new species was isolated only from diseased kidney cell cultures. Ochratoxin A production was not detected in P. pimiteouiense. The role this fungus plays in polycystic kidney disease is unknown, but it has only be found associated with human PKD kidney tissue cultures.}
