Penicillium variabile

Penicillium variabile is an anamorph species of fungus in the genus Penicillium which has been isolated from permafrost deposits.^[1][2][3][4] Penicillium variabile produces rugulovasine A and rugulovasine B^[4] This species occurs on wheat, flour, maize, rice, and barley, and it is also very common in indoor environments.^[5][6]

In the University of Newcastle, and publicated in the Journal of Parkinson’s Disease, was found that the Penicillium variable P16 is a main marker of the advancement of the Parkinson illness (with the loss of telomere length and P21) ^[7]
