Abstract
A fungus was isolated from aviation fuel and identified as Monascus floridanus P.F. Cannon & E.L. Barnard (FR827895) according to its morphological and genetic properties. The isolate has some properties that are unusual for the type strain, including a prominent stripe on one of the sides of the ascospores and occurrence, along with the known Basipetospora-type thallic conidia, of the phialophora-like spore formation. The isolated strain Monascus floridanus, like the known kerosene fungus Hormoconis resinae (Lindau) Arx & G.A. de Vries, is capable of active growth in aviation fuel.
