Abstract

A new species of Penicillium, Subgenus Biverticillium, was isolated from the root of a wheat seedling during a survey of the ability of rhizosphere fungi to solubilize phosphate. The species, described here as Penicillium radicum, has affinities with P. variabile, P. allahabadense and Talaromyces wortmannii, but can be distinguished by differences in morphology, secondary metabolite profiles and unique DNA banding patterns obtained using RAPD PCR.
