Abstract

Penicillium brasilianum Bat., P. cluniae Quintan., and P. echinulonalgiovense S. Abe ex Houbraken & R.N. Barbosa are reported for the first time as endophytes from the leaves of an endemic bromeliad in the Caatinga dry forest in Brazil. For species determination, phenotypic features were analysed along with the sequencing of the β-tubulin and calmodulin genes. Penicillium Link isolates obtained in this study showed the typical morphology of species in the Lanata-Divaricata section. These results contributed to increase the knowledge of fungal diversity in dry environments in the word.
