Aspergillus is a large genus of anamorphic fungi. Aspergilli have great importance in many fields
like plant, animals, and human health etc. The present study was conducted to identify Aspergillus
isolates from district Larkana Sindh Pakistan. There are no reports that cover the whole
mycoflora of Sindh province. In this study two differential media, Czapek Solution Agar (CZA)
and Malt Exract Agar (MEA) were used for the identification of Aspergillus species using
macroscopic characteristics such as colony growth, conidial color, colony reverse, and
microscopic characteristics including conidiophore, vesicle, matulae, phialides and conidia. All
the eight Aspergillus species viz., Aspergillus ficcum, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus flavus var.
columnaris, Aspergillus terreus var. aureus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Emericella nidulans,
Emericella rugulosa and Apergillus terricola var. americana have been reported for the first
time from Larkana whereas, Aspergillus terricola var. americana appeared to be a new records
from Pakistan.
