Production of beauvericin, moniliformin, fusaproliferin, and fumonisins b(1), b(2), and b(3) by fifteen ex-type strains of fusarium species

Fifteen Fusarium species were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography for the production of six mycotoxins in corn grits cultures. Production of mycotoxins ranged from 66 to 2,500 micro g/kg for fumonisin B(1), 0.6 to 1,500 micro g/g for moniliformin, 2.2 to 720 micro g/g for beauvericin,...

Summary:Fifteen Fusarium species were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography for the production of six mycotoxins in corn grits cultures. Production of mycotoxins ranged from 66 to 2,500 micro g/kg for fumonisin B(1), 0.6 to 1,500 micro g/g for moniliformin, 2.2 to 720 micro g/g for beauvericin, and 12 to 130 micro g/g for fusaproliferin. Fumonisin B(2) (360 micro g/kg) was produced by two species, fumonisin B(3) was not detected in any of the 15 species examined, and Fusarium bulbicola produced none of the six mycotoxins that we analyzed.
