Five Simplicillium isolates were obtained from foam generated in an aquarium in Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan. Using a combination of micro-morphological characteristics and multigene (ITS, SSU, LSU, TEF) phylogenics, the isolates were identified as S. subtropicum and a new species which were previously undescribed. Simplicillium spumae, which is a new species, differs from known Simplicillium species in the morphology of their conidia and conidiophores.

Simplicillium spumae（Cordycipitaceae，Hypocreales），一种来自日本水族馆泡沫的新型疏水菌

从日本东京都港区水族馆中产生的泡沫中获得了5个单一菌。结合微观形态学特征和多基因（ITS，SSU，LSU，TEF）系统发育学，分离物被鉴定为亚热带链球菌和以前未描述的新物种。Simplicillium spumae是一种新种，其分生孢子和分生孢子的形态与已知的Simplicillium种不同。
