AIMS: The aims of this work were to evaluate the mycoflora and to identify the species of Aspergillus with the potential to produce ochratoxin A (OA) from different wine grape varieties from Mendoza, Argentina. Likewise, the capacity to produce OA by Aspergillus section Nigri was studied. METHODS AND RESULTS: Fifty samples of wine grapes were obtained from a winery of Mendoza province, Argentina. The surface-disinfection method was used for mycoflora determination using the medium dichloran 18% glycerol agar (DG18). Alternaria, Aspergillus and Penicillium were identified at species level. OA production was tested in 63 strains belonging to section Nigri. Alternaria genus was the most frequent (80% of the samples) followed by Aspergillus (70%). Alternaria alternata was the only specie identified from the Alternaria genus, followed by A. niger var. niger, A. flavus among others. From Penicillium genus, P. crysogenum was the most frequent specie. From 63 strains of Aspergillus section Nigri, 41.3% were OA producers. The levels of produced toxin ranged from 2 to 24.5 ng ml-1 of culture medium. CONCLUSIONS: The presence of ochratoxigenic strains of Nigri section in this substrate suggests that they may be an important source of OA in grapes from tropical and subtropical zones. Therefore, the industry should work further to diminish the growth of these fungi and mycotoxins formation in grapes, with the aim to reduce OA content in wine products. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: The wine grape contamination with A. alternata and Aspergillus section Nigri was significant. 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the inhibitory effect of Enterococcus faecium and Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis isolated from faeces of healthy dogs on (i) lag phase, (ii) growth rate, and (iii) aflatoxin B1 production by Aspergillus section Flavi on in vitro assays. Thirteen lactic acid bacteria (LAB) isolates were used as antagonist microorganisms. Antagonistic activity
was assayed against four potentially aflatoxigenic Aspergillus section Flavi isolates: A. flavus (AF210 and AF281), A. parasiticus (AP245) and A. parasiticus (NRRL 2999). In general, the longest lag phases of Aspergillus isolates were obtained with E. faecium GJ40. Respecting the growth rate, no significant reduction was found in this parameter in the interaction assays with A. flavus and antagonist isolates respecting the control. While in A. parasiticus a significant reduction in growth rate was only observed in the interaction among reference strain and E. faecium MF5 isolate (p < 0.05). In general, AFB1 production was reduced by most of the LAB isolates assayed, except for E. faecium GJ18, GJ20, MF3 and MF4. This study provides the first data about the antiaflatoxigenic activity of autochthonous LAB isolated
from dog faeces. 相似文献

Spectrometric studies on stability of tenuazonic acid (TeA) solution in organic solvents 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The stability of tenuazonic acid solution at different temperatures and storage times was studied using methanol, methanol-water
(8:2 v/v), benzene and benzene-acetonitrile (98:2 v/v) as solvents. Solutions were analysed by a spectrometric method TeA
U.V.-spectrum was recorded. Results indicated that the optimum temperature for long-time storage period of tenuazonic acid
solution in any solvent assayed is -20°C. Benzene and benzene-acetonitrile (98:2 v/v) could be advised to make tenuazonic
acid solution which will be stored less than 2 months at 4°C. Methanol and methanolwater (8:2 v/v) are not recommended because
a low stability of TeA solution in this solvents. 相似文献

Potentially ochratoxigenic Aspergillus and Penicillium species were identified and the natural occurrence of ochratoxin A (OTA) in corn kernels was evaluated. Likewise, the capacity
to produce OTA by Aspergillus section Nigri and Circumdati was investigated. A total of 50 corn samples for human consumption was collected in the south of Córdoba Province. The surface-disinfected
method for mycobiota determination was used. The OTA detection was performed by HPLC. OTA production was tested in strains
belonging to section Nigri and Circumdati. Statistical analysis demonstrated that the specie A. flavus was isolated in higher frequency (p<0.01) from corn kernels in DRBC and DG18 media. The percentage of corn kernels contaminated by A. niger var. niger was similar in DRBC and DG18 media. The frequency of grains contaminated by A. flavus and A. niger var. awamori was higher than A. niger var. niger and A. japonicus var. japonicus (p<0.01) in DG18 media. The other potentially ochratoxigenic species, A. ochraceus, was isolated between 5% and 10% of the corn kernels in DG18 and DRBC media, respectively. The OTA producing species P. verrucosum was not isolated. All samples of corn were OTA negative (<1 ng g−1). Thirty strains (25%) of the black Aspergillus were OTA producers. From four strains of A. ochraceus isolated, only one produced OTA. Due to the storage variable conditions could not be adequate in this substrate, the presence
of ochratoxigenic strains of section Nigri and OTA needs to be evaluated for a longer time to establish the toxicological risk for human beings. The contamination of
stored corn kernels with A. flavus and Aspergillus section Nigri was significant. 相似文献

Fusarium species and fumonisin production by toxigenic strains were investigated. During 1996–1998, 158 samples of poultry feeds were collected from a factory located in the department of Río Cuarto Córdoba province, Argentina. The most common species of Fusarium were F. moniliforme (60.7%) and F. nygamai (35.4%) followed by F. semitectum, F. subglutinans, F. proliferatum, F. dlamini, F. solani, F. oxysporum and F. napiforme. Fungal counts ranged from 1 × 103 to 8 × 105 CFU/g with mean values from 1.5 × 103 to 2.3 × 105 CFU/g. The highest counts were for F. dlamini, F. subglutinans, F. moniliforme and F. nygamai. Strains of F. moniliforme, F. nygamai, and F. proliferatum were screened for their potential to produce fumonisin B1 (FB1), fumonisin B2 (FB2) and fumonisin B3 (FB3) in corn grain. The samples were analysed using a modified high performance liquid chromatography method. The strains assayed, 43 strains, produced three fumonisins. There was a high degree of variability in the quantities of FB1, FB2, and FB3 produced. The toxin produced in highest levels by the majority of the strains was FB1. The range of concentration varied from 5.4 to 3,991, 1.01 to 189 and 0.4 to 765 ppm per gram of corn for FB1, FB2 and FB3 respectively. The toxigenic pattern of strains was normal, although two strains of F. moniliforme produced exceptionally high concentrations of FB3 and minor concentrations of FB2 and FB1. This is the first report from Argentina on Fusarium species in poultry feeds and fumonisin production by these strains.This revised version was published online in October 2005 with corrections to the Cover Date. 相似文献

Growth and aflatoxin production by Aspergillus parasiticus NRRL 2999 and Aspergillus parasiticus RC 12 were studied both in sunflower seed and a synthetic culture medium (with and without zinc enrichment).On a synthetic culture medium the strains behaved in different ways according to the zinc concentration.In sunflower seed medium the influence of zinc was not so evident. Thus the results show that the influence of zinc is not the same for different strains and substrates. 相似文献

A study was carried out to evaluate the effect of heat treatment on the stability of alternariol (AOH), alternariol monomethyl
ether (AME) and tenuazonic acid (TeA) in sunflower flour and the effectiveness of this treatment by a biological assay in
rats. The concentrations of AOH and AME remained constant during heating at 100°C for up to 90 minutes while TeA concentration
decreased with time to 50% after 90 minutes. The most effective treatment in reducing AOH and AME levels was heating at 121°C
for 60 minutes. Histopathological evaluation in the biological assay in rats fed withAlternaria toxins showed marked atrophy and fusion of villi in the intestines and liver cell damage; these lesions were less severe
in rats fed heat-treated sunflower flour in line with the reduced toxin content. However, a lower weight gain and a noticeable
renal damage in rats were produced when they fed decontaminated flour. 相似文献
