Production of mycotoxins by galactose oxidase producing "Fusarium" using different culture media

ABSTRACT

The original isolate of the galactose oxidase producing fungus "Dactylium dendroides, and other five galactose oxidase producing "Fusarium" isolates were cultivated in different media and conditions, in order to evaluate the production of 11 mycotoxins, wich are characteristic of the genus "Fusarium": moniliform, fisaric acid, deoxyvalenol, fusarenone-X, nivalenol, 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol, neosolaniol, zearakenol, zeralenone, acetyl T-2, and iso T-2. The toxicity of the culture extractes to "Artemia salina" larvae was tested
