Wheat for human consumption (140 samples) was collected after harvest from all regions of Bulgaria. The 1995 crop year was characterized by heavy rainfall in the spring and summer months. The internal mycoflora of wheat samples was dominated by Fusarium spp. and Alternaria spp., and storage fungi were rarely present. The samples were analysed for contamination with Fusarium mycotoxins deoxynivalenol (DON), 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol (3-AcDON), 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol (15-AcDON), T-2 Toxin (T-2), diacetoxyscirpenol (DAS), and zearalenone (ZEA), using enzyme immunoassay methods. DON and ZEA were the predominant toxins, with a contamination frequency of 67% and 69%, respectively. The average levels of these toxins in positive samples were 180 g/kg (DON) and 17 g/kg (ZEA), maximum concentrations were 1800 g kg–1 and 120 g kg–1, respectively. Acetyl derivatives of DON, namely 3-AcDON and 15-AcDON, were found in 2.1 % and 0.7% of the samples, at at maximum level of about 100 g kg–1. Only one sample was positive for T-2 (55 g/kg), DAS was not detected. This is the first report about the natural occurrence of a range of Fusarium mycotoxins in wheat for human consumption in Bulgaria.Abbreviations 3-AcDON

Analysis of 98 moldy corn samples collected in Wisconsin between November 1992 and January 1993 for Fusarium toxins by various immunochemical assays revealed overall average mycotoxin concentrations of 305.6, 237.7, and 904.3 ng/g for type A trichothecenes (TCTCs), deoxynivalenol (DON)-related type B TCTCs (total DON), and zearalenone (ZE), respectively. A small portion (5.1%) of the samples was found to be contaminated with high levels ( > 1 microgram/g) of type A TCTCs and total DON during the whole survey. Over 40% of the samples had 100 to 1,000 ng of total DON per g, while 17% of the samples had the same levels of type A TCTCs. The analytical data were consistent with those from mycological examinations for the samples in which various toxic Fusarium spp., including F. sporotrichioides, F. poae, and F. graminearum, were found. The samples received in November 1992 had relatively low concentrations of toxin; the average levels of type A TCTCs and total DON were 9.9 and 79 ng/g, respectively. The toxin concentrations became progressively higher in the samples received in December. The average levels for the type A TCTCs and total DON increased to 920 and 335 ng/g, respectively. However, the levels of ZE were higher in the samples collected earlier. The average levels for samples collected in November and late December were 1,195 and 242 ng/g, respectively. Analysis of selected samples by high-performance liquid chromatography monitoring with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay revealed that T-2 toxin, HT-2 toxin, diacetoxyscirpenol, neosolaniol, and T-2 tetraol (T-2-4ol) were common in these samples. Statistical analysis revealed a weak correlation between the levels of total type A TCTCs and total DON in the samples (r = 0.18, P = 0.09), but a strong correlation between the levels of ZE and total type B TCTCs (r = 0.75, P < 0.0001) was found. The mycotoxin levels of total type A TCTCs, total DON-related type B TCTCs, and ZE in the cobs (5.2, 3.9, and 21 micrograms/g, respectively) were considerably higher than those in the kernels (1.0, 0.5, and 0.5 microgram/g, respectively). The type A toxin levels increased from a range of 14 to 35 ng/g to a range of 110 to 538 ng/g after the moldy corn samples were held at 5 degrees C for 8 days in the laboratory. 相似文献

Barley is produced in four provinces, Chonbuk, Chonnam, Kyungbuk, and Kyungnam, and corn is mainly produced in the Kangwon province in Korea. The natural occurrence of Fusarium mycotoxins was surveyed in 39 barley and 46 corn samples from different areas. Five 8-ketotrichothecenes, namely deoxynivalenol (DON), nivalenol (NIV), 4-acetylnivalenol (4-ANIV), 3-acetyldeoxynivalenol (3-ADON), and 4,15-diacetylnivalenol (4,15-DANIV), and zearalenone (ZEA) were detected in barley. DON, NIV, and ZEA were the major contaminants in barley, with mean levels of 170, 1,011, and 287 ng/g, respectively. On the other hand, DON, 15-acetyldeoxynivalenol (15-ADON), NIV, 4-ANIV, 4,15-DANIV, and ZEA were detected in corn samples. DON and 15-ADON were the major contaminants in corn, with mean levels of 310 and 297 ng/g, respectively. The survey indicated that the natural occurrence of monoacetyl-DON and the ratios of NIV to DON in two cereals were different. In addition, this is the first report of the natural occurrence of 4,15-DANIV in cereals. 相似文献

Effects of the Fusarium spp. mycotoxins fusaric acid and deoxynivalenol on the growth of Ruminococcus albus and Methanobrevibacter ruminantium 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The Fusarium spp. mycotoxins fusaric acid and deoxynivalenol (DON) were tested for antimicrobial activity against Ruminococcus albus and Methanobrevibacter ruminantium. The growth of both organisms was inhibited by fusaric acid as low as 15 micrograms/mL (84 microM) but not by DON, at levels as high as 100 micrograms/mL (338 microM). No synergistic inhibitory effect was observed with DON plus fusaric acid. Neither organism was able to adapt to the fusaric acid and responses of each organism to the compound were different. The optical density (OD) maximum for R. albus, but not for M. ruminantium, was diminished after 28 days incubation at concentrations of fusaric acid below 240 micrograms/mL. Inhibition of R. albus started before significant growth had occurred, while M. ruminantium doubled twice before the onset of inhibition. Responses to picolinic acid, an analog of fusaric acid, were also dramatically different between the two microorganisms with M. ruminantium exhibiting a severe lag followed by a complete recovery of growth, while R. albus was only slightly inhibited with no lag. These results suggest that the mechanism of fusaric acid inhibition is specific to each microorganism. This is the first demonstration of the common mycotoxin fusaric acid inhibiting the growth of rumen bacteria. 相似文献

Maize kernel samples were collected in 1996 from smallholder farm storages in the districts of Bomet, Bungoma, Kakamega, Kericho, Kisii, Nandi, Siaya, Trans Nzoia, and Vihiga in the tropical highlands of western Kenya. Two-thirds of the samples were good-quality maize, and one-third were poor-quality maize with a high incidence of visibly diseased kernels. One hundred fifty-three maize samples were assessed for Fusarium infection by culturing kernels on a selective medium. The isolates obtained were identified to the species level based on morphology and on formation of the sexual stage in Gibberella fujikuroi mating population tests. Fusarium moniliforme (G. fujikuroi mating population A) was isolated most frequently, but F. subglutinans (G. fujikuroi mating population E), F. graminearum, F. oxysporum, F. solani, and other Fusarium species were also isolated. The high incidence of kernel infection with the fumonisin-producing species F. moniliforme indicated a potential for fumonisin contamination of Kenyan maize. However, analysis of 197 maize kernel samples by high-performance liquid chromatography found little fumonisin B1 in most of the samples. Forty-seven percent of the samples contained fumonisin B1 at levels above the detection limit (100 ng/g), but only 5% were above 1,000 ng/g, a proposed level of concern for human consumption. The four most-contaminated samples, with fumonisin B1 levels ranging from 3,600 to 11,600 ng/g, were from poor-quality maize collected in the Kisii district. Many samples with a high incidence of visibly diseased kernels contained little or no fumonisin B1, despite the presence of F. moniliforme. This result may be attributable to the inability of F. moniliforme isolates present in Kenyan maize to produce fumonisins, to the presence of other ear rot fungi, and/or to environmental conditions unfavorable for fumonisin production. 相似文献

Infection of cereal grains with Fusarium species can cause contamination with mycotoxins that affect human and animal health. To determine the potential for mycotoxin contamination, we isolated Fusarium species from samples of rice seeds that were collected in 1997 on farms in the foothills of the Nepal Himalaya. The predominant Fusarium species in surface-disinfested seeds with husks were species of the Gibberella fujikuroi complex, including G. fujikuroi mating population A (anamorph, Fusarium verticillioides), G. fujikuroi mating population C (anamorph, Fusarium fujikuroi), and G. fujikuroi mating population D (anamorph, Fusarium proliferatum). The widespread occurrence of mating population D suggests that its role in the complex symptoms of bakanae disease of rice may be significant. Other common species were Gibberella zeae (anamorph, Fusarium graminearum) and Fusarium semitectum, with Fusarium acuminatum, Fusarium anguioides, Fusarium avenaceum, Fusarium chlamydosporum, Fusarium equiseti, and Fusarium oxysporum occasionally present. Strains of mating population C produced beauvericin, moniliformin, and gibberellic acid, but little or no fumonisin, whereas strains of mating population D produced beauvericin, fumonisin, and, usually, moniliformin, but no gibberellic acid. Some strains of G. zeae produced the 8-ketotrichothecene nivalenol, whereas others produced deoxynivalenol. Despite the occurrence of fumonisin-producing strains of mating population D, and of 8-ketotrichothecene-producing strains of G. zeae, Nepalese rice showed no detectable contamination with these mycotoxins. Effective traditional practices for grain drying and storage may prevent contamination of Nepalese rice with Fusarium mycotoxins. 相似文献

Allelopathy is an untapped resource for weed control in crops that could give good possibilities for environmentally sound, integrated crop production. Allelopathy is defined as the direct or indirect harmful or beneficial effects of one plant on another through the production of chemical compounds, called allelochemicals, which escape into the environment. Allelochemicals can be produced by weeds and affect crops, and the reverse is also true. Allelopathic interactions include weed-weed, weed-crop, and crop-crop. Allelopathy offers potential for selective biological weed control for instance weed-suppressing crops and the use of plant residues in cropping systems, allelopathic rotational crops, or companion plants with allelopathic potential. Bromus species occur in many habitats in temperate regions of the world, including America, Eurasia, Australia, and Africa. The genus Lolium is one of the most important forage grasses. The weed species usually grow in the same production zones as wheat and are considered weeds since they parasitize wheat fields. Some of the weed species in these two genus have been reported to have allelopathic effect. One of the methods that has been successful in studying allelopathic activity are bioassays. Laboratory experiments were conducted to determine allelopathic effect of watery shoot extracts of four weed species of the Poaceae family, namely Bromus rigidus, Bromus diandrus, Lolium multiflorum and Lolium temulentum on germination and growth of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.), spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.), corn (Zea mays L), perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.), bean (Phaseolus sp.) and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) and on each other. The experiment was carried out during the period March 2010 to October 2010. Twenty five seeds were put into one Petri-dish on filter paper, adding 15ml of extract to each in four repeats. The germination took place in a Binder-type thermostat in the dark. The timing of germination was checked in every two days and the rate of growth was estimated after a week, by counting the number of germinated seeds and measuring the length of the radicle and plumule. The measured data was statistically analyzed and the effect of the extracts on germination percentage and seedling length was evaluated. 相似文献

Synergistic effects of Fusarium — toxins mixture (moniliformin, fumonisin B1, fusaproliferin, zearalenone, zearalenol and deoxynivalenol, each at concentration 3.5 μg mL-1) on maize plants of resistant and susceptible cultivars were studied. After 72-hour treatment the biomass production with both cultivars was approximately 6% lower than in the respective controls. In the resistant cultivar chlorophyll content was increased comparing to control, with higher increase in chlorophyll b. In susceptible cultivar chlorophyll content was slightly decreased, particularly with chlorophyll b.No significant differences between treated and non-treated plants were found in the cell ultrastructure. In susceptible plants the young root cells were more vacuolated and plasmolysis occurred in the cells of outer cortex. In leaves of this cultivar also disorganization of thylakoids in some chloroplasts was observed. 相似文献

Besides peanuts and cottonseed, cereal grains are the most important feed and food source that occasionally are naturally contaminated with mycotoxins. The problem of mycotoxins occurring naturally in cereals, especially in corn, has become trouble-some because of changing agricultural technology. The mycotoxin problem in cereals is not restricted to any geographic or climatic region. Toxins are produced on cereals, both in the field and in storage; they involve both the grain and the whole plant. The genera of fungi most involved areAspergillus, Fusarium, Penicillium andClaviceps. Mycotoxins known to occur naturally in cereals include aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2-as well as aflatoxins M1 and M2-ochratoxins A and B, penicillic acid, patulin, ergot, zearalenone, citrinin, T-2, tenuazonic acid, kojic acid and sterigmatocystin. Of these mycotoxins, aflatoxins, patulin, penicillic acid and sterigmatocystin are carcinogens. 相似文献

Migheli, Q., Berio, T., and Gullino, M. L. 1993. Electrophoretic karyotypes of Fusarium spp. Experimental Mycology 17, 329-337. The electrophoretic karyotype of 17 antagonistic and pathogenic strains of Fusarium spp. has been established by using contour-clamped homogeneous electric field gel electrophoresis. Intact chromosomal DNA was prepared from fungal protoplasts with standard procedures. Up to 11 distinct chromosomal bands were resolved after 184 h of migration at 50 V. Polymorphic karyotypes were observed in different species of Fusarium, formae speciales of F. oxysporum , and races of F. oxysporum f.sp. dianthi. Using the Schizosaccharomyces pombe and Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosomes as size standards, the size of the Fusarium genome was estimated to range from approximately 18.1 to 51.5 Mb. The suitability of electrophoretic karyotyping as a tool for strain characterization, as well as some applications in hybridization analysis of Fusarium spp., is discussed. 相似文献

The mycotoxins diacetoxyscirpenol, deoxynivalenol, and zearalenone, produced by Fusarium roseum, were found naturally occuring in mixed feed samples. In all cases analyzed, deoxynivalenol occurred together with zearalenone. The natural occurrence of zearalenone in sesame seed is reported for the first time. Strains of F. roseum isolated in various parts of the world form feed implicated in animal mycotoxicosis produced monoacetoxyscirpenol, diacetoxyscirpenol, deoxynivalenol, and zearalenone. 相似文献

Pineapple (Ananas comosus var. comosus) is an important perennial crop in tropical and subtropical areas. It may be infected by various Fusarium species, contaminating the plant material with mycotoxins. The aim of this study was to evaluate Fusarium species variability among the genotypes isolated from pineapple fruits displaying fungal infection symptoms and to evaluate their mycotoxigenic abilities. Forty-four isolates of ten Fusarium species were obtained from pineapple fruit samples: F. ananatum, F. concentricum, F. fujikuroi, F. guttiforme, F. incarnatum, F. oxysporum, F. polyphialidicum, F. proliferatum, F. temperatum and F. verticillioides. Fumonisins B1–B3, beauvericin (BEA) and moniliformin (MON) contents were quantified by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in pineapple fruit tissue. Fumonisins are likely the most dangerous metabolites present in fruit samples (the maximum FB1 content was 250 μg g?1 in pineapple skin and 20 μg ml?1 in juice fraction). In both fractions, BEA and MON were of minor significance. FUM1 and FUM8 genes were identified in F. fujikuroi, F. proliferatum, F. temperatum and F. verticillioides. Cyclic peptide synthase gene (esyn1 homologue) from the BEA biosynthetic pathway was identified in 40 isolates of eight species. Based on the gene-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays, none of the isolates tested were found to be able to produce trichothecenes or zearalenone. 相似文献

Summary The microbiological transformation of progesterone to androsta-1,4-diene-3,17-dione was investigated. A comparison of various species ofFusaria under identical conditions showed a characteristic difference in the course of the transformation which allowed the division of the androstadienedione producingFusaria into two groups. Beside of the already knownFusaria several new androstadienedione producing ones were discovered.Presented in part at the 1st Yugoslav Microbiological Congress, Belgrade, September, 1968. 相似文献

Three human epithelial cell lines (CaCo-2, HEp-2 and HeLa) implicated as potential targets for three Fusarium toxins were tested for the extent of survival on exposure to increasing toxin concentration and incubation periods. Cytotoxicity assay using 3(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) was carried out with deoxynivalenol (DON), T-2 toxins and zearalenone (ZON) on CaCo-2, HEp-2 and HeLa cell lines. Of the three cell lines used, HeLa was the most sensitive, eliciting cell death after 2 days exposure at 100 ng ml–1with T-2 toxin. HeLa was the only cell line to exhibit cytotoxicity towards ZON showing cell death at 1000 ng ml–1after 2 days which increased to 4 days, showing substantial cell death at 200 ng ml–1. HEp-2 was sensitive to DON showing cell death after 2 days (100 ng ml–1) with complete cell death occurring at 200 ng ml–1 after 4 days of exposure. Substantial cytoxicity of T-2 towards HEp-2 occurred after 2 days at 1000 ng ml–1 and complete cell death occurred with 100 ng ml–1 at day 4. The CaCo-2 cell line was generally resistant to the mycotoxins tested between 100 and 1000 ng ml–1. This study shows that cytotoxicity of Fusarium toxins to epithelium cell lines is concentration- and time- dependant and results from ZON–HeLa interaction indicate possible cell type-mycotoxin specificity. 相似文献

Cultures on corn of Fusarium moniliforme MRC 826 are known to cause leukoencephalomalacia in horses and to be toxic and hepatocarcinogenic in rats. Culture material of this F. moniliforme isolate has also been shown to exhibit cancer-promoting activity in a short-term cancer initiation-promotion bioassay with diethylnitrosamine-initiated rats and the induction of gamma-glutamyl-transpeptidase-positive (GGT+) foci as an endpoint after 4 weeks of promotion. This bioassay was used as a monitoring system to isolate cancer-promoting compounds from cultures of F. moniliforme MRC 826. Culture material was successively extracted with ethyl acetate and CH3OH-H2O (3:1). Most of the cancer-promoting activity was recovered in the CH3OH-H2O extract and remained in the aqueous phase following partitioning of this extract between CH3OH-H2O (1:3) and CHCl3. The CH3OH-H2O fraction was chromatographed on an Amberlite XAD-2 column, and the active fraction was eluted with CH3OH. This fraction was chromatographed on a silica gel column with CHCl3-CH3OH-CH3COOH (6:3:1) as eluent and further purified on a C18 reverse-phase column. Two pure compounds were isolated, and these have been chemically characterized and given the trivial names fumonisin B1 and B2. At least 2 g of the major compound fumonisin B1 was purified from 1 kg of culture material. Fumonisin B1 in the diet (0.1%) significantly (P less than 0.001) induced the formation of GGT+ foci in the livers of initiated as well as noninitiated rats.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The mutagenicity of eight Fusarium toxins (mono-, di-, and triacetoxyscirpenol, T-2 toxin, deoxynivalenol, 3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol, zearalenone, and moniliformin) and of two positive controls (aflatoxin B1 and sterigmatocystin) to histidine-requiring strains TA 98, 100, 1535, and 1537 of Salmonella typhimurium was tested both with and without metabolic activation. Both aflatoxin B1 and sterigmatocystin, but none of the eight Fusarium toxins, were mutagenic to S. typhimurium. The lack of mutagenic activity of T-2 toxin and diacetoxyscirpenol supports the negative results that have been obtained with in vivo carcinogenicity tests. The negative mutagenicity of the four other 12,13-epoxytrichothecenes tested, and of zearalenone and moniliformin, could not be correlated with in vivo tests because published accounts of their chronic toxicity were not available. 相似文献
