isolated from a Saharan soil sample collected from El-Goléa (Ghardaïa, South Algeria).
Morphology
Cells are filamentous. Substrate hyphae are well developed and fragment with age into cocci-shaped elements. Forms aerial mycelium with long chains of non-motile, smooth-surfaced and oval or spherical spores. Aerial mycelium is moderately abundant with white colour on ISP 2, nutrient agar and CM agar media. Forms long chains of non-motile, smooth-surfaced, and oval or spherical spores (0.8-0.9 × 0.8-1.3 µm). Substrate mycelium is dark reddish orange colour on ISP 2 and nutrient agar media, and light yellow on CM agar and ISP 4 media. The substrate mycelium is well developed on all media tested and fragments into non-motile cocci.
