Three Penicillium species new for the mycobiota of Iran from soils of the National Park of Urmia Lake

In a survey on the biodiversity of Penicillium species in soils of the National Park of Urmia Lake (NW Iran), eight Penicillium isolates were isolated as members of the section Citrina. Based on a combination of cultural and morphological criteria, the isolates were identified as Penicillium anatolicum, P. sanguifluum,and P. sizovae. The identity of each species was further confirmed using sequence data of β-tubulin gene (BenA). Three species are reported and described here as new records for the mycobita of Iran.
