Paecilomyces spp

The trade mark of the compound l-(4-chlorophenoxy)-l-(imidazol-l-yl)-3,3-dimethylbutanon is Baysan (13). This fungicide is effective against Aspergillus, Penicillium, Candida and Paecilomyces spp. on various household materials, utensils and parts of buildings. The acute oral for male rats is 400 mg/kg. (Worthing, 1979). 

It has proven difficult to confirm the oft-repeated assumption that Paecilomyces is a Cordyceps anamorph (Samson et al., 1988), due to lack of cultural proof. As pointed out by Samson and Evans (1977), There is no indication that P. tenuipes represents the imperfect state of some Cordyceps species, as suggested by Petch (1933) and Kobayasi (1941). However, evidence has now been obtained from a molecular phylogenetic analysis carried out by Fukatsu, et al., (1997), which showed that Paecilomyces tenuipes (Peck) Samson belongs to the monophyletic group of the Clavicipitales. Ascospore isolations from several undescribed Cordyceps spp. from Amazonia have also yielded Paecilomyces type anamorphs in culture (H. C. Evans, unpublished data). (Figs. 9 and 10).
