Neurospora sitophila is a species of fungus also known as red bread fungus or orange bread fungus. It is a mold that spoils various foods and is responsible for occupational asthma in the wood and cork industry.
Classification
Chrysonilia sitophila is the anamorphic counterpart of Neurospora sitophila (teleomorph). Its position in the classification is:
Sordariaceae, Sordariales, Sordariomycetidae, Sordariomycetes, Ascomycota, Fungi.
History
At the time of its discovery, in 1843, this fungus was named "Penicillium sitophilum" by Montagne and "Oïdium aurantiacum" by Léveillé, but it is now considered not to belong to either genus Oidium nor Penicillium.
In 1848, Anselme Payen reported that it resisted temperatures above 100 degrees, a fact which played a role in discussions of spontaneous generation.
In 2010, Chrysonilia sitophila, the asexual state of neurospora sitophilia, was found to be linked to a case of occupational asthma in a worker exposed to ground coffee.
