Aspergillus nidulans (sometimes found like Emericella nidulans) is one of many species of filamentous fungi in the phylum Ascomycota.

Aspergillus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (684 words)
Aspergillus was first catalogued in 1729 by the Italian priest and biologist Pietro Antonio Micheli as Nova plantarum genera juxta Tournafortii methodum disposita.
Aspergillus species are highly aerobic and are found in almost all oxygen-rich environments, where they commonly grow as molds on the surface of a substrate, as a result of the high oxygen tension.
nidulans was one of the pioneering organisms to have its genome sequenced by researchers at the Broad Institute.
Aspergillus Species (2349 words)
Aspergillus clavatus, Aspergillus glaucus group, Aspergillus nidulans, Aspergillus oryzae, Aspergillus terreus, Aspergillus ustus, and Aspergillus versicolor are among the other species less commonly isolated as opportunistic pathogens.
Aspergillus colonies are downy to powdery in texture.
In contrast to Aspergillus, the hyphae of Syncephalastrum are nonseptate [1280].
