Part of the NATO ASI Series book series (NSSA, volume 102)

Summary

This paper reviews the various media and incubation conditions which have been used in the past, and are in use now, for the taxonomy of Penicillum and Aspergillus species. Recommendations for standardisation of media and incubation conditions are put forward.
