Abstract
In the present study, a novel fungus belonging to the genus Aspergillus section Circumdati was isolated from a cultivated soil sample close to El-Gaar lake in Wadi-El-Natron region, Egypt. Sequence of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) gene of its DNA showed that the isolate differs from all known Aspergillus species in section Circumdati. The novel Aspergillus species is described here as Aspergillus gaarensis. Phenotypic characteristics and molecular data were applied to determine its novel taxonomic status. Both macro and micro characteristics of the novel species are presented in the current study.
