Aspergillus wentii is an asexual, filamentous, endosymbiotic fungus belonging to the mold genus, Aspergillus.[1][2][3] It is a common soil fungus with a cosmopolitan distribution, although it is primarily found in subtropical regions.[3][4] Found on a variety of organic materials, A. wentii is known to colonize corn, cereals, moist grains, peanuts and other ground nut crops.[5][6] It is also used in the manufacture of biodiesel from lipids and is known for its ability to produce enzymes used in the food industry.[5][7][8][9]
