Abstract:
Three isolates of Penicillium pimiteouiense were recovered from sandy beach soil samples in Penang Island, Peninsular Malaysia. All the isolates were identified based on morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of internal transcribed spacer regions and beta-tubulin gene. This is a first record of P. pimiteouiense in Malaysia.
