Aspergillus sclerotiorum is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It is from the Circumdati section.[1] The species was first described in 1933.[2] A. sclerotiorum has been reported to produce penicillic acid, xanthomegnin, viomellein, and vioxanthin.[3] The genome of A. sclerotiorum was in 2016 sequenced as a part of the Aspergillus whole-genome sequencing project - a project dedicated to performing whole-genome sequencing of all members of the Aspergillus genus.[4] The genome assembly size was 37.97 Mbp.Cite error: The opening <ref> tag is malformed or has a bad name (see the help page).
