| Abstract: | The hyphal wall polysaccharide fractions of certain species ofEupenicillium have been utilized to study their phylogenetic relationships.E. abidjanum andE. shearii (group 1) cell walls have an alkali-soluble polysaccharide fraction (20%) containing an α-glucan.E. alutaceum, E. baarnense, E. catenatum, andE. erubescens (group 2) contain β-linked polysaccharides in all their polysaccharide fractions. These results suggest that some of the previously assigned taxonomic groups ofEupenicillium may not be natural. |
