Abstract

In this study, a total of 300 isolates of Penicillium and related teleomorphic genera were collected from soils of 17 locations in Korea from April to May, 2004. Ninety four isolates were identified as the species of Penicillium subgenus Furcatum based on cultural and morphological characteristics and β-tubulin gene sequences. Among the species, Korean isolates of P. brasilianum Bat. and P. daleae K. M. Zalessky were phylogenetically identical to the reference species based on DNA sequence of the β-tubulin gene. Here we described and illustrated P. brasilianum and P. daleae that are new in Korea.

Keywords: Cultural and morphological characteristics; P. brasilianum; P. daleae; β-Tubulin gene.
