Aspergillus bertholletius sp. nov. from Brazil Nuts

چکیده
During a study on the mycobiota of brazil nuts (Bertholletia excelsa) in Brazil, a new Aspergillus species, A. bertholletius, was found, and is described here. A polyphasic approach was applied using morphological characters, extrolite data as well as partial β-tubulin, calmodulin and ITS sequences to characterize this taxon. A. bertholletius is represented by nineteen isolates from samples of brazil nuts at various stages of production and soil close to Bertholletia excelsa trees. The following extrolites were produced by this species: aflavinin, cyclopiazonic acid, kojic acid, tenuazonic acid and ustilaginoidin C. Phylogenetic analysis using partial β-tubulin and camodulin gene sequences showed that A. bertholletius represents a new phylogenetic clade in Aspergillus section Flavi. The type strain of A. bertholletius is CCT 7615 ( = ITAL 270/06 = IBT 29228).

متن کاملSelenium and Aflatoxins in Brazil Nuts
Brazil nuts (Bertholletia excelsa H.B.K.) are considered a high nutritious food. Apart from carbohydrates, lipids, sulphur proteins and minerals, Brazil nuts are known to be rich in selenium Se (Barclay et al., 1995; Coutinho et al., 2002, Souza et al., 2004, Pacheco and Scussel, 2007). Despite of that, when their shell are cracked either when pods fall on the ground, or during pod opening for ...
