Aspergillus aculeatus is a fungus species in the genus Aspergillus. It has been implicated as the causative agent in plant disease. A. aculeatus belongs to the group of black Aspergilli which are important industrial workhorses. A. aculeatus belongs to the Nigri section. Aspergillus aculeatus is considered to be a ubiquitous species that could be usually isolated from rotting fruits and soil. Morphological characteristics such a color, size, shape and ornamentation of conidia are crucial for the classification of strains of black-spored Aspergillus species.

Moesziomyces antarcticus is a species of fungus in the order Ustilaginales. The species occurs as a yeast and it was first isolated from Antarctic lake sediment in 1969. As a pathogen, it is a rare cause of human fungaemia infections. The yeast is a source of important industrial enzymes: Immobilized Moesziomyces antarcticus lipase can be used to catalyze the regioselective acylation of flavonoids or direct acylation with phenolic acids. Moesziomyces antarcticus contains a lipase enzyme (Candida antarctica) that is able to cleave ester bonds in PET plastic.
