Abstract

Several species of the genus Penicillium were isolated during a survey of the mycobiota of Apulian cave cheesesripened in a cave in Gravina di Puglia, Italy. A novel species, Penicillium gravinicasei, is described in Penicilliumsection Cinnamopurpurea. Its taxonomic novelty was determined using a polyphasic approach, combining phenotypic,molecular (?-tubulin, calmodulin, ITS and DNA dependent RNA polymerase) DNA sequences andmycotoxin production data. Phylogenetic analyses of the RPB2 data showed that isolates of the novel speciesform a clade most closely related to Penicillium cinnamopurpureum and P. parvulum with high bootstrap support.The fungus did not produce ochratoxin A, citrinin, patulin, sterigmatocystin or aflatoxin B1 on standard agarmedia. The novel species had a high growth rate on agar media supplemented with 5% NaCl, and could bedistinguished from other Penicillium section Cinnamopurpurea species by phenotypic and molecular characteristics.
