[1] It is xerophilic, frequently found in house dust.

Studies have suggested that it is an allergen implicated in asthma.

[4][5] In 2016, the genome of A. restrictus was sequenced as a part of the Aspergillus whole-genome sequencing project - a project dedicated to performing whole-genome sequencing of all members of the genus Aspergillus.

[6] The genome assembly size was 23.26 Mbp.

[6] A. restrictus has been cultivated on both Czapek yeast extract agar (CYA) plates and Malt Extract Agar Oxoid (MEAOX) plates.
