The genus Chaetomium provides an outstanding example to illustrate central concepts of microbiology. It differs significantly from other mold genera such as Penicillium or Aspergillus - especially due to its unique reproductive structures and potential applications in biotechnology.

The precise and reliable analysis of microbial contamination is a decisive factor in building diagnostics and material testing. The GBA Group is setting new standards in microbiological analysis with state-of-the-art methods and a constantly growing laboratory capacity.

If you take a look at the pesticide residue notifications in the European Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed, you will find the active ingredient chlorpyrifos is often the subject of notifications. In numerous product groups and from a wide variety of countries, goods are found to contain the residue of chlorpyrifos. In the worst case the goods are rejected at one of the EU's external borders.

The Food Information Regulation regulates the labeling of food in the EU and protects consumers by ensuring that they receive all the information they need to be able to make informed decisions. For manufacturers and importers, the correct implementation of the requirements is of great importance.

In our free basic webinar, you will learn how to implement the Food Information correctly in your company.

The mold species was first described in 1901 in the “Annales de la Société Scientifique de Bruxelles” by Dierckx. To this day, and significantly in the period before the Internet, the species Penicillium citreonigrum has been described under four other species names.
As Penicillium citreonigrum is not described as having an increased water requirement, the species is not one of the recognized indoor humidity indicators.
