Abstract
Fifteen samples of semi-hard ripened cheeses, both spoiled (10) and unspoiled (5), and obtained from cheese factories located in Northwest of Spain, were analysed by a dilution plating technique and direct sampling. A total of 32 isolates were identified at species level by a polyphasic approach (phenotypic characterization, partial extrolite analysis and molecular identification). Most isolates (65.6%) belonged to the species P. commune; other species found were P. solitum, P. chrysogenum, P. nordicum, P. expansum and P. cvjetkovicii. All of the P. commune isolates were able to produce cyclopiazonic acid, while the P. nordicum and the P. expansum isolates were producers of ochratoxin A and patulin respectively. Despite this, the role of P. commune as beneficial fungi in cheese ripening should be investigated. Molecular identification based on BenA sequence analysis was able to identify the majority of isolates. The three mycotoxins investigated can be considered key for identification. The polyphasic approach seems to be a very valuable tool for identification of isolates of this complex genus
