Penicillia are some of the most widespread hyphomycetes among microscopic fungi. Their natural habitats are soils of northern latitudes. They are known as producers of various types of biologically active compounds such as ergot alkaloids, diketopiperazines, quinolines, quinazolines and polyketides [1]. Penicillium fungi synthesize clavine ergot alkaloids whose structural specificity is that th...
