About

Aspergillus fischeri is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. Nyosartorya fischeri is the taxonomic term for A. fischer in its teleomorph phase. It is widely distributed in soil throughout the world. It is a plant pathogen but does not require a high level of biosecurity. A. fischeri has been reported as a causative agent in aspergillosis. It is also a common factor in food spoilage. However, its utility in biodegradation of plastic waste, production of aromatic compounds, drug repurposing and cytotoxic potential are potential benefits.
