Opis

Many species of penicillium and aspergillus are key in biotechnology, food, medicine, biodeterioration and other applied fields, so a practical and stable taxonomy is of vital importance. Developments in science and technology mean that taxonomic classification is no longer confined to classical morphological concepts, and the integration of molecular, physiological and biochemical methods now plays an important role in understanding the classification of these fungi. International experts contribute their expertise, providing value to researchers and professionals in mycology, biotechnology, medicine and regulatory agencies interested in the identification of these fungi.
