The intraspecific variability of theAspergillus viridinutansspecies was examined using various techniques including morphological examinations, carbon-source-utilization tests, restriction-enzyme analysis of the mitochondrial and nuclear DNA, and sequence analysis of part of the β-tubulin gene. Although the genetic distances between the isolates were higher than between,e.g., A. fumigatusandNeosartorya fischeri, mostA. viridinutansisolates, together withN. aureolaandN. udagawaestrains, were found to belong to a single cluster based on sequence data. Strain FRR 1266, which was earlier classified as a highly divergentA. fumigatusisolate, was found to belong to theA. viridinutansspecies. The ochratoxin A producingA. viridinutansstrain IMI 306 135 was most closely related to an asexual isolate. These two latter strains were more closely related toA. fumigatusandN. fischerithan to anyA. viridinutansstrains, and possibly represent a new species in theAspergillussectionFumigati. The dendrogram based on carbon source utilization data and results of restriction analysis of the mitochondrial and nuclear DNA of the strains supported most of the evolutionary relationships observed on the basis of sequence data. The results indicate that the presence or absence of nodding conidial heads is not an unequivocal morphological character for the identification of species within theAspergillussectionFumigati.
