Aspergillus aculeatinus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. A. aculeatinus belongs to the group of black Aspergilli which are important industrial workhorses.[2][3][4] A. aculeatinus belongs to the Nigri section. The species was first described in 2008.[1] A. aculeatinus has been isolated from Thai coffee beans. It has been shown to produce neoxaline, secalonic acid D and F, and aculeacins.[1] The genome of A. aculeatinus was sequenced and published in 2014 as part of the Aspergillus whole-genome sequencing project – a project dedicated to performing whole-genome sequencing of all members of the Aspergillus genus.[5] The genome assembly size was 36.47 Mbp.[6]
