title: Delimitation of Penicillium virgatum sp. nov. and P. daleae on the basis of morphological and molecular characters.
abstract: Penicillium virgatum sp. nov. is described from the soil of a soybean field in New Caledonia. Its delimitation from P. daleae, isolated from forest soils in Poland and Germany, is discussed. The species are differentiated on the basis of morphological features of their cultures in vitro, comparison of the PCR-RFLP profiles with DdeI, HpaII, Sau3A1, and TagI restriction endonucleases, and nucleotide sequences.
