title: The taxonomy of Penicillium species from fermented cheeses.
abstract: The taxonomy of the Penicillium camberti and P. roqueforti series is re-investigated. P. caseicolum Bainier is regarded as a synonym of P. camemberti Thom on the basis of morphological characters. P. casei Staub is considered to be identical with P. verrucosm Dierckx var. cyclopium (Westling) Samson, Stolk et Hadlok. Descriptions and illustrations of P. camemberti and P. roqueforti Thom are given. The occurrence and mycotoxin production of both species are shortly discussed.
