Interpretive Summary:

Technical Abstract: Talaromyces iowaense sp. nov. is described based on a single isolate that is quite distinct from all described Talaromyces species. In phylogenetic analysis it is on a long branch that originates deeply within section Purpurei. In Blast searches of GenBank, the BenA locus is 85% similar to T. rademirici and many other Talaromyces spp., the ITS region is 91% similar to T. amestolkiae and several other species, and the RPB2 locus is 89% related to T. rademirici. The species grows very poorly on CYA but well on MEA, like many species in section Purpurei and that is where it fits best by phylogenetic analysis.
