Aspergillus saccharolyticus is a species of fungus in the genus Aspergillus. It belongs to the group of black Aspergilli which are important industrial workhorses.[3][4][5] A. saccharolyticus belongs to the Nigri section. The species was first described in 2008.[1] It was isolated from under a wooden toilet seat in Denmark.[1] The genome of A. sclerotiicarbonarius was sequenced and published in 2014 as part of the Aspergillus whole-genome sequencing project – a project dedicated to performing whole-genome sequencing of all members of the genus Aspergillus.[6] The genome assembly size was 37.62 Mbp.[6]
