Abstract

The type strainPenicillium vitale Pidoplichko et Bilai apud Bilai 1961 VKM F-3624 was found to considerably differ from a sibling speciesP. janthinellium (syn.P. simplicissimum) in some physiological and morphological features (growth rates at different temperatures, the size of philiades, and the shape of conidia), as well as in the pattern of the nitrogen-containing secondary metabolites produced (roquefortine, 3,12-dihydroroquefortine, meleagrin, aurantioclavine, indole-3-acetic acid, andN-acetyltryptamine). The data obtained suggest thatP. vitale represents an independent species.
