Aspergillus restrictus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It is from the Restricti section.[3] The species was first described in 1931.[4] It is xerophilic, frequently found in house dust. Studies have suggested that it is an allergen implicated in asthma.[5][6] The genome of A. restrictus 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.[7] The genome assembly size was 23.26 Mbp.[8]
