Emericella
Emericella is a former genus of fungi.
The genus name of Emericella is in honour of Emeric Streatfield Berkeley, a British Lieutenant/Major General who served in India. He was also a botanist.
Species described in Emericella were identified as teleomorphs of the Nidulantes subgenus in Aspergillus and were eventually merged following the establishment of the "one fungus : one name" rule in 2011. It was considered to continue usage of the Emericella genus name by breaking up the genus Aspergillus along delineations of subgenera. As of 2020, former teleomorphic genera of Aspergillus are now understood as morphotypes describing the morphology of teleomorphs. Emericella is now "emericella-type".
The chemical compound has been found in marine Emericella. In terms of composition, stromemycin is a C-glycoside and a depside. In terms of mechanism of action it is a matrix [metalloproteinase inhibitor].
