Indeed! This is such a big surprise that the taxonomic type of A. flavus is really a weird isolate, from a weird substrate, strange location, and a surprising phylogenomic position! I wonder how this situation of oryzae/flavus can be resolved in metagenomic studies and in food safety regulations...

...came in 2021 but the manuscript was submitted only this September, in a collab with Ignazio Carbone at NCSU. So happy that this is out! By incorporating data from papers of @annemakerofhats.bsky.social, Mickey Drott, and dozens of others, we were able to analyze 639 Aspergillus Flavi genomes here

Can't wait to read this! Probably during a journal club with students:)

Invasivity in agar assays was rare, and caspofungin and anidulafungin worked best agains clinical isolates in vitro. Amphotericin B and micafungin exhibited broader MIC distributions.

We found 48% of the clinical isolates to be S. var 'boulardii' probiotic yeasts, and 33% were Mixed Origins baker's yeasts. Others came from Wine and Diastatic Ale clades, and we found evidence of long-term colonization by a very strange, unplaced lineage.
