Aspergillus<\/h1>\n
\n

Aspergillus<\/strong> is a genus of molds<\/a> which particularly enjoy sugar. Many species grow easily on starchy foods such as bread<\/a>. Some are noted for growing in areas with few nutrients, such as damp walls. These species are a major component of mildew.<\/p>\n

Some species are used in food production, for example they are involved in making sake.<\/p>\n

Other species are pathogenic, causing serious diseases in people. Some species produce mycotoxins<\/a>.<\/p>\n

People often develop allergies<\/a> to molds of this genus.<\/p>\n
