Aspergillus rambellii
This A. rambellii strain is the sole representative of its species ever sampled in the world. It accumulates and secretes both sterigmatocystin and aflatoxin B1, a rare characteristic for this genus, which are toxic secondary metabolites. In comparison to its close relative, A. ochraceoroseus, this species produces much greater quantities of aflatoxin B1.
