A New Species and Five New Records of Talaromyces ( Eurotiales , Aspergillaceae ) Belonging to Section Talaromyces in Korea

is a genus within the phylum (class , order , family ). Many species in this genus are known to produce diverse secondary metabolites with great potential for agricultural, medical, and pharmaceutical applications. During a survey on fungal diversity in the genus in Korea, six strains were isolated from soil, indoor air, and freshwater environments. Based on morphological, physiological, and multi-locus (ITS, and ) phylogenetic analyses, we identified five previously unrecorded species in Korea ( , , , , and ) and a new species ( sp. nov.) belonging to section . Herein, detailed descriptions, illustrations, and phylogenetic tree are provided.
