Penicillium citrinum is an anamorph, mesophilic fungus species of the genus of Penicillium which produces tanzawaic acid A-D, ACC, Mevastatin, Quinocitrinine A, Quinocitrinine B, and nephrotoxic citrinin.

Penicillium is an ascomycetous fungus found in all-natural environments. Penicillium is an opportunistic invader, a fast-growing fungus, a strong spore producer, a source of several enzymes, and economically important fungi in the food and drug industry.

Penicillium citrinum is among the more commonly occurring Penicillium species, and the toxin citrinin appears to be abundantly produced in nature. Citrinin is a significant renal toxin affecting monogastric domestic animals including pigs, dogs, and poultry.

2010年8月13日 · Penicillium citrinum and related species have been examined using a combination of partial β-tubulin, calmodulin and ITS sequence data, extrolite patterns and phenotypic characters. It is concluded that seven species belong to the series Citrina.

We present a case of an immunocompromised woman with fever, pulmonary infiltrates and multiple bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) cultures positive for Penicillium citrinum with a concomitant high BAL galactomannan level. We report the results of ...

Penicillium citrinum is a food-contaminating ascomycete that consistently produces large amounts of the mycotoxin citrinin. Citrinin exhibits, besides its toxicity, antibiotic effects and thus potentially forces antibiotic resistance.

2008年12月22日 · The plant growth promoting ability of this fungal strain may help in conservation and revegetation of the rapidly eroding sand dune flora. Penicillium citrinum is already known for producing mycotoxin citrinin and cellulose digesting enzymes like cellulase and endoglucanase, as well as xylulase.

2023年4月15日 · We found that Penicillium citrinum (#5TAKL-3a) treatment improved the growth of wheat seedlings under normal and stressed conditions. Our results imply that culture treatment controls the rise of proline, MDA, TSS, and reduces sugar levels induced in …

icillium expansum are primarily associated with the spoilage of wide variety of fruits and derived food products. Increasing demand of consumers for preservative (synthetic) free food has led the researchers to explore natural substances for contr.

Although some filamentous fungi, especially those belonging to genus Aspergillus such as Aspergillus niger and genus Penicillium such as Penicillium citrinum are being implemented in the food and pharmaceutical industries as a result of some metabolites they produce [10, 11], these filamentous fungi have also been reported in association with in...
