J.C. FRISVAD &R.A.SAMSONFig 2. Morphological structures in <strong>Penicillium</strong> <strong>subgenus</strong> <strong>Penicillium</strong>. A-H. Conidia, A. Smooth, globose conidia in P. roqueforti,B. Globose to subglobose in P. cyclopium, C. ellipsoidal in P. expansum, D. cylindrical in P. persicinum, E. ellipsoidal tocylindrical in P. digitatum, F. subglobose to ellipsoidal in P. confertum, G. rough-walled conidia P. discolor, H. echinulateconidia in P. echinulatum. I-M. Phialide shape. I. flash-shaped in P. chrysogenum, J. flash-shaped but short in P. grise<strong>of</strong>ulvum,K. flask-shaped but more elongated in P. expansum, L-M. phialides more or less cylindrical in P. ulaiense and P. digitatum,Conidiphore stipe, N. P. expansum, P. P. clavigerum, Q. P. tulipae, R. P. roqueforti, S. P. glandicolaEhrlich testAll isolates were examined for production <strong>of</strong> cyclopiazonicacid and other alkaloids reacting with Ehrlichreagent (Lund, 1995a) using a filter paper method.Ehrlich reagent consists <strong>of</strong> 2 g <strong>of</strong> 4-dimethylaminobenzaldehydein 96% ethanol (85 ml) added 15 ml 10N HCl. A ca. four mm agar plug is cut out <strong>of</strong> thecenter <strong>of</strong> a colony grown on CYA (incubated 5-9 daysat 25ºC) and a round piece (1 cm diam.) <strong>of</strong> the wettedfilter paper (Whatman No. 1) is placed on the mycelialside <strong>of</strong> the plug. If a violet ring appears after 2- 6 min.the culture contains cyclopiazonic acid or relatedalkaloids (Fig. 4). If the reaction comes after 7-10min. it is regarded as weak. After 10 min the violetring will fade away. Some fungi produce alkaloidsthat will react with Ehrlich reagent to give pink to redor yellow rings.8
