Mycotoxin production profiles of the genus Penicillium fungi, isolated from the various environments.

Abstract

Using spectral and chromatography methods mycotoxin production profiles were exanlined for 19 strains of 12 species of the genus Penicillium fungi. The mycotoxin profiles of the fungi, belonging to P. aurantiogriseum, P. chrysogenum. P. granulatum, P. spinulosum and P. vulpinum species, which were isolated from the various environments at various times, are differed from those, described earlier. Isolates of P. chrysogenum, P. griseofulvum and P. vulpinum produce the alkaloid nature mycotoxins, which were characteristic for these species. Mycofoxins were not detected in P glabrum, P. dangeardii and P. funiculosum species.
