NRRL, Northern Regional Research Laboratories (part of the USDA Agricultural Research Service Culture Collection); MRL, Mycology Reference Laboratory (part of the Center for Medical Mycology at the University Hospitals of Cleveland). Three Penicillium strains were obtained as clinical isolates from the National Cancer Institute during the course of this study.
