Taxonomy: Eukaryota | Opisthokonta | Fungi | Dikarya | Ascomycota | saccharomyceta | Pezizomycotina | leotiomyceta | Eurotiomycetes | Eurotiomycetidae | Eurotiales | Aspergillaceae | Aspergillus Comment: The filamentous fungus Aspergillus flavus causes approximately 30% of the cases of aspergillosis, a serious human disease. It also produces the highly carcinogenic mycotoxin aflatoxin. Infestations of grains by this fungus results in large agricultural and economic losses. Aspergillus flavus grows as a haploid fungus and generates asexual spores but not sexual spores (ascospores).
