Penicillium aurantiogriseum

Penicillium aurantiogriseum is frequently isolated from feeds and food since it’s common in maturing crops, especially cereals. It is a producer of a number of mycotoxins. These include:

  • Penicillic acid
  • Roquefortine C
  • Xanthomegnin
  • Viomellein
  • Verrucosidin

The health effects of these mycotoxins has not been reported.

The growth temperature for Penicillium aurentiogriseum ranges from 15-40 oC with an optimum temperature at 25 oC.
