Aspergillus olivicola is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It is from the Nidulantes section.[2] The species was first described in 2008.[3] It has been isolated from fruit in Italy. A. olivicola has been shown to produce aflatoxin B1, emericellin, shamixanthone, siderin, sterigmatocystin, terrain, and varitriol.[4] The genome of A. olivicola 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.[5] The genome assembly size was 33.17 Mbp.[6]
