In laboratory media, 10 of 16 isolates of Aspergillus versicolor from country-cured ham were capable of producing sterigmatocystin. Three of these isolates were tested and found to produce sterigmatocystin on country-cured ham after 14 days of incubation at 20 or 28 C. 相似文献

Citrinin is a mycotoxin, which is produced by fungi belonging to the genus Monascus, known in biotechnology as producers of azaphilone pigments. The relation between biosynthesis of these secondary metabolites was investigated in different species of the genus Monascus in batch-culture at the following cultivation conditions: T = 28 degrees C, agitation 220 rpm, and a medium, which induce citrinin production, containing ethanol as a carbon source. The screening was carried out with 16 fungal strains and the biosynthesis of citrinin and pigments was monitored quantitatively at the standard conditions mentioned above. Some kinetic parameters of the process have been determined. The values of the growth yield coefficient Y(X/C) were between 0.32 and 0.57. The amount of the extracellular red and orange pigments at the end of cultivation varied for the different strains between 0.09 and 1.33 OU/ mg dry weight, and 0.15 and 0.96 OU/mg dry weight, respectively. The amount of the total pigments measured was between 0.16 and 3.6 OU/mg dry weight, and between 0.21 and 3.39 OU/mg dry weight. The determined ratio 500 nm/400 nm, characterizing the pigment production, ranged between 0.60 and 1.06. Twelve of the investigated strains produced citrinin and pigments, two of them produced only pigments. Two strains were not able to produce neither pigments nor citrinin. Thus, the biosynthesis of citrinin appeared to be strain-specific and does not correlate with the pigments' biosynthesis by the fungal strains belonging to the genus Monascus. 相似文献

Mycelial extracts of an Aspergillus wentii strain grown on yeast-extract sucrose medium and initially isolated from country-cured ham were highly toxic when inoculated into chicken embryos or fed to mice. Moldy corn and rice were less toxic when fed to mice. Water extracts of moldy corn or rice or culture filtrates from yeast-extract sucrose medium were not toxic. Purification by thin-layer chromatography followed by crystallization yielded orange-red crystals that showed high toxicity and had a melting point of 285 to 286 C. Chloroform solutions of the crystals had absorption maxima at 270, 295, and 452 nm. The smallest amount of this component necessary to have zero hatchability of fertile eggs was 50 mug/egg. 相似文献

Thirty-six isolates of Leuconostoc spp. were isolated from yellow spots that occurred on the surface of vacuum-packaged ham. All isolates were Gram-positive, catalase-negative cocci that produced gas from glucose and formed more than 90% of their lactate as D(-) isomer. These isolates could grow at 4 degrees C but not above 30 degrees C and most strains produced yellow spots on the ham. The isolates were divided into three groups by sugar fermentation patterns. Representative strains from three groups showed intergroup DNA homology values of above 88.8%, showing that these groups were composed of a single species. This organism was positioned at a separate branch in the genus Leuconostoc on the phylogenetic tree based on 16S rRNA sequences, which was assigned to Leuconostoc gelidum on the basis of DNA-DNA relatedness. 相似文献

A new rapid semi-quantitative fluorimetric assay for citrinin production testing in mould cultures has been developed. The chemical structure of the citrinin makes it a weak native fluorophore. This fluorescence can be strongly enhanced in an acidic environment. A standard curve where the concentration of HCl needed to show the yellow fluorescence signal of different concentrations of citrinin was established, thus providing a semi-quantitative method to prove the capacity of toxin production of fungal cultures. Two Penicillium strains from the Spanish National Collection of Type Cultures, were studied for the toxin production on YES broth at 25°C for 21 d. The culture was assayed daily for the presence/absence and quantification of citrinin by adding the HCl concentration set, and also quantified by RP-HPLC as a confirmation procedure. Experiments demonstrate that 5 d are necessary to show the presence of citrinin. As an illustration, a total of 48 strains of Penicillium isolated from cheese and cheese factories were analysed with the proposed method. 相似文献

Two strains of Aspergillus ochraceus and six of Penicillium viridicatum isolated from country cured hams were screened for production of ochratoxins A and B. None of the isolated P. viridicatum strains yielded detectable amounts of ochratoxin A or B, whereas both strains of A. ochraceus produced ochratoxins A and B on rice, defatted peanut meal, and country cured ham. After 21 days of incubation on ham, one-third of the toxin was found in the mycelial mat on the ham surface, whereas two-thirds had penetrated into the meat to a distance of 0.5 cm. 相似文献

Citrinin is one of the mycotoxins produced by Penicillium citrinum. We examined the decomposition products after heating citrinin in water at 140 degrees C and isolated a major product, citrinin H2 (3-(3,5-dihydroxy-2-methylphenyl)-2-formyloxy-butane). Citrinin H2 did not show significant cytotoxicity to HeLa cells up to a concentration of 200 microg/ml (% cytotoxicity: 39%) in 63 h of incubation, but citrinin showed severe toxicity at a concentration of 25 microg/ml (% cytotoxicity: 73%). HPLC analysis of citrinin after heating under various conditions indicates that citrinin H2 is mainly yielded from citrinin. 相似文献

Twenty-four isolates of Penicillium expansum Link from British Columbia (Canada) apples were cultured in yeast-extract sucrose (YES) at 25°C for 28 days to investigate
production of patulin and citrinin. These isolates proved to be potent producers of citrinin, patulin, or in most cases, both
mycotoxins. In every isolate, citrinin, patulin, or both compounds were produced at levels as high as 565 μg/mL (mean 269 μg/mL)
and 100 μg/mL (mean 31 μg/mL), respectively. Of the 24 isolates, 4 produced citrinin only, and 2 produced patulin only. Overall,
83% of the isolates formed patulin and 91% formed citrinin. YES broth proved to be an effective medium for patulin and citrinin
production. Other workers have noted that production of these mycotoxins in culture often presages production in fruits, so
these results might help Canadian fruit processors evaluate and minimize mycotoxin levels in their products. 相似文献

Evaluation of the extent and type of bacterial contamination at different stages of processing of cooked ham 总被引:5,自引:1,他引:4

In an attempt to determine the composition and origin of the spoilage flora of refrigerated vacuum-packed cooked ham, the changes in microbial numbers and types were followed along the processing line. Results revealed Lactobacillus sake and Leuconostoc mesenteroides ssp. mesenteroides as the major causative agents of spoilage of sliced ham stored at 4 °C and 12 °C, due to recontamination in the cutting room. On the contrary, the progressive deterioration of whole ham under the same storage conditions was associated with a non-identifiable group of leuconostoc-like bacteria. Except for lactic acid bacteria, no other organism grew in vacuum packs of either sliced or whole ham. Although atypical leuconostocs could not be detected among isolates recovered from freshly produced whole ham, they appeared to survive cooking and proliferate during storage. Neither these organisms however, nor Lact. sake and Leuc. mesenteroides were important in curing and tumbling as carnobacteria, mainly Carnobacterium divergens, and Brochothrix thermosphacta dominated at this stage. A progressive inversion of the ham microflora from mostly Gram-negative at the beginning of processing to highly Gram-positive prior to cooking was noted. Listeria monocytogenes cross-contaminated ham during tumbling. However, the pathogen was always absent from the vacuum-packed product provided that heating to a core temperature of 70 °C occurred and recontamination during slicing and packing was prevented. The percentage distribution of different species of lactic acid bacteria as well as the uncommon phenotypic characteristics of some strains were discussed. 相似文献

Among 27 mold isolates from decaying tomatoes, culture filtrates or ethyl acetate extracts of 8 isolates grown in yeast extract-sucrose medium were markedly toxic (mortality, greater than 50%) to brine shrimp larvae. The toxicity of six of these isolates could be attributed to the presence of citrinin, tenuazonic acid, or T-2 toxin. Ethyl acetate extracts of five Alternaria isolates and one Fusarium isolate were mutagenic for Salmonella typhimurium strains. In ripe tomatoes inoculated with toxin-producing isolates and incubated at 25 degrees C, one Alternaria alternata isolate produced tenuazonic acid in seven of seven tomatoes at levels of up to 106 micrograms/g and alternariol methyl ether in one of the seven tomatoes at 0.8 microgram/g. Another A. alternata isolate produced tenuazonic acid or alternariol methyl ether at much lower levels in only three of seven tomatoes. Patulin and citrinin were produced by a Penicillium expansum isolate at levels of up to 8.4 and 0.76 microgram/g, respectively. In tomatoes incubated at 15 degrees C, a Fusarium sulphureum isolate produced T-2 toxin, HT-2 toxin, and neosolaniol at levels of up to 37.5, 37.8 and 5.6 micrograms/g, respectively. If these mycotoxins are thermostable, they may occur at detectable levels in tomato products whenever partially moldy tomatoes are used as raw material. 相似文献

The aim of this work was to evaluate the potential use of qualitative volatile patterns produced by Penicillium nordicum to discriminate between ochratoxin A (OTA) producers and non-producer strains on a ham-based medium. Experiments were carried
out on a 3% ham medium at two water activities (aw ; 0.995, 0.95) inoculated with P. nordicum spores and incubated at 25°C for up to 14 days. Growing colonies were sampled after 1, 2, 3, 7 and 14 days, placed in 30-ml
vials, sealed and the head space analysed using a hybrid sensor electronic nose device. The effect of environmental conditions
on growth and OTA production was evaluated based on the qualitative response. However, after 7 days, it was possible to discriminate
between strains grown at 0.995 aw, and after 14 days, the OTA producer and non-producer strain and the controls could be discriminated at both aw levels. This study suggests that volatile patterns produced by P. nordicum strains may differ and be used to predict the presence of toxigenic contaminants in ham. This approach could be utilised
in ham production as part of a quality assurance system for preventing OTA contamination. 相似文献

Toxic effects of ochratoxin A and citrinin, alone and in combination, on chicken embryos. 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2 下载免费PDF全文
The embryotoxic potential of ochratoxin A and citrinin was studied after administering, either subgerminally or intraamniotically, single mounting doses of the mycotoxins to chicken embryos on days 2, 3, and 4. The beginning of the embryotoxicity dose range was found to be between 0.01 to 0.05 microgram for ochratoxin A and 1 to 10 micrograms for citrinin. The maximum response to both mycotoxins occurred after administration on day 3. In addition to significant growth retardation of fetuses, exencephaly, microphthalmia, cleft beak, reduction deformities of the limbs, and abdominal wall and ventricular septal defects were encountered on day 8 of incubation. When 4 micrograms of citrinin was constantly added to ochratoxin A administered in the dose range of 0.03 to 0.5 microgram, a strictly additive effect was seen. It may be supposed that citrinin produced together with ochratoxin A in some strains of Penicillium viridicatum Westling does not potentiate the clear-cut embryotoxic action of the latter mycotoxin. 相似文献

Natural occurrence of the mycotoxin viomellein in barley and the associated quinone-producing penicillia. 下载免费PDF全文
In a batch of barley associated with field cases of mycotoxic porcine nephropathy and containing ochratoxin A and citrinin, the mycoflora were isolated by parallel incubation at 10 and 25 degrees C. Subsequently, the isolated cultures were checked for production of nephrotoxins (xanthomegnin, viomellein, ochratoxin, and citrinin). The nephrotoxin producers, all isolated by incubation at 10 degrees C, were comprised of one culture of Penicillium viridicatum, five cultures of Penicillium cyclopium, and one culture of Penicillium crustosum, all producing xanthomegnin and viomellein. One culture of P. cyclopium produced citrinin. Viomellein was detected in the barley at a concentration of approximately 1 mg/kg. The method of analysis for xanthomegnin and viomellein included extraction with chloroform, partitioning in hexane-acetone, and thin-layer chromatographic separation and identification. The identity of the xanthomegnin and viomellein produced by the isolated fungi and of viomellein detected in the barley was supported by infrared spectroscopy. This is the first report of viomellein as a natural contaminant of foodstuffs. 相似文献

Aims: To assess the ability of fungi isolated from grapes to produce patulin and citrinin. Methods and Results: A total of 446 Aspergillus isolates belonging to 20 species and 101 Penicillium isolates were inoculated in Czapek yeast extract agar and yeast extract sucrose agar and incubated for 7 days at 25°C. Extracts were analysed for patulin and citrinin by thin‐layer chromatography. None of the isolates of Aspergillus spp. produced either patulin or citrinin. Patulin was produced by three isolates of Penicillium expansum and two of Penicillium griseofulvum. Citrinin was produced by five isolates of P. expansum, two of Penicillium citrinum and one of Penicillium verrucosum. Conclusions: Our results show that the Aspergillus and Penicillium species commonly isolated from grapes are not a source of the mycotoxins, patulin and citrinin. Significance and Impact of the Study: The possibility of co‐occurrence of patulin and citrinin with ochratoxin A in grapes and grape products remain low, owing to the low frequency of isolation of potentially producing species. 相似文献

Monascus-fermented products have been widely used in Taiwan and other Asian countries as health foods. Unfortunately, many Monascus strains concurrently produce trace amounts of toxic citrinin. This study isolated a strain NPUST-B11 with the ability to
degrade citrinin as the only carbon source. The isolated strain NPUST-B11 was characterised and identified as Klebsiella pneumoniae by 16S rRNA gene analysis using UNI-F and UNI-R primers. The isolated strain was then incubated in the mineral broth containing
10 ppm of citrinin, 1.2% of glucose, 0.3% of peptone and 100 ppm of vitamin C under optimal conditions, including pH 7, 200 rpm
and 37°C. Citrinin was rapidly degraded with incubation from 97.9% at 1 h to 8.67% at 5 h and completely depleted at 10 h.
Overall, this strain could be useful for the degradation of citrinin in food products and other medical applications. 相似文献
