The range and comparative yields of T-2 toxin and related trichothecenes from five toxicologically important strains of Fusarium sporotrichioides, i.e., NRRL 3299, NRRL 3510, M-1-1, HPB 071178-13, and F-38, were determined. Lyophilized cultures of the five strains maintained in the International Toxic Fusarium Reference Collection were used to inoculate autoclaved corn kernels. Corn cultures were incubated at 15 degrees C for 21 days and analyzed for trichothecenes by thin-layer chromatography and capillary gas chromatography. All five strains produced T-2 toxin, HT-2 toxin, T-2 triol, and neosolaniol. Two strains also produced T-2 tetraol, and two others produced diacetoxyscirpenol. The highest producer of T-2 toxin (1,300 mg/kg), HT-2 toxin (200 mg/kg), T-2 triol (1.9 mg/kg), and neosolaniol (170 mg/kg) was NRRL 3510, which was originally isolated from millet associated with outbreaks of alimentary toxic aleukia in the USSR. The second highest producer of T-2 toxin (930 mg/kg) was NRRL 3299. The other three strains produced T-2 toxin at levels ranging from 130 to 660 mg/kg. Thus, the five strains differed considerably in the amounts of T-2 toxin and other trichothecenes produced under identical laboratory conditions. These strains are being maintained under optimal conditions for the preservation of Fusarium cultures and are available from the Fusarium Research Center, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park. 相似文献

Four recently described species, Fusarium nygamai, F. dlamini, F. beomiforme and F. napiforme and two uncertain taxa, F. nygamai from millet in Africa and Fusarium species from rice with Bakanae disease, were tested for toxicity and moniliformin production. Cultures grown on autoclaved corn were fed to groups of four one-day-old ducklings for 14 days. Isolates that caused the death of 3 or 4 out of 4 ducklings were considered to be toxic and analyzed for moniliformin. All 15 isolates of F. dlamini tested were nontoxic. The other taxa contained some isolates that were toxic to ducklings and produced moniliformin in corn cultures. This is the first report of moniliformin production by F. beomiforme (200–890 g/g), and F. napiforme (16–388 g/g), and by F. nygamai not obtained from millet in Africa (15–874 g/g). The highest production of moniliformin was obtained from the 19 isolates of F. nygamai from millet in Africa (4300–18200g/g) and the 15 isolates from rice with Bakanae disease (2300–19300 g/g). The taxonomic position of these two uncertain taxa should be re-evaluated. 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

Fusarium isolates that form part of the Gibberella fujikuroi species complex have been classified using either a morphological, biological, or phylogenetic species concept. Problems with the taxonomy of Fusarium species in this complex are mostly experienced when the morphological and biological species concepts are applied. The most consistent identifications are obtained with the phylogenetic species concept. Results from recent studies have presented an example of discordance between the biological and phylogenetic species concepts, where a group of F. subglutinans sensu stricto isolates, i.e., isolates belonging to mating population E of the G. fujikuroi complex, could be sub-divided into more than one phylogenetic lineage. The aim of this study was to determine whether this sub-division represented species divergence or intraspecific diversity in F. subglutinans. For this purpose, we included 29 F. subglutinans isolates belonging to the E-mating population that were collected from either maize or teosinte, from a wide geographic range. DNA sequence data for six nuclear regions in each of these isolates were obtained and used in phylogenetic concordance analyses. These analyses revealed the presence of two major groups representing cryptic species in F. subglutinans. These cryptic species were further sub-divided into a number of smaller groups that appear to be reproductively isolated in nature. This suggests not only that the existing F. subglutinans populations are in the process of divergence, but also that each of the resulting lineages are undergoing separation into distinct taxa. These divergences did not appear to be linked to geographic origin, host, or phenotypic characters such as morphology. 相似文献

Fifty-one strains of Fusarium verticillioides and F. proliferatum isolated from corn collected from four different geographic areas in Iran, namely Fars, Khuzestan, Kermanshah and Mazandaran (an endemic oesophageal cancer (OC) area) were evaluated for their ability to produce fumonisins B1 (FB1), B2 (FB2) and B3 (FB3) in corn culture. Fumonisin levels were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography. All tested strains of F. verticillioides and F. proliferatumproduced fumonisins within a wide range of concentrations, 197–9661 g/g, 18–1974 g/g, and 21–1725 g/g for FB1, FB2, and FB3, respectively. The highest mean concentrations of FB1, FB2, and FB3 were 3897, 806 and 827 g/g, respectively. Overall, 61% of the F. verticillioides and F. proliferatum strains produced higher levels of FB3 than FB2. The mean ratios of FB1:FB2, FB1:FB3 and FB1:total fumonisins were 8, 7 and 0.7 for F. verticillioides and 5.7, 10.7 and 0.7 for F. proliferatum, respectively. Significant differences in some of the meteorological data (rainfall, relative humidity and minimum temperature) from the four provinces were observed. Fumonisin levels produced by F. verticillioides strains isolated from Khuzestan province (tropical zone) were significantly (P < 0.01) higher than the other three provinces. This is the first report of the fumonisin-producing ability of F.verticillioides and F. proliferatum strains isolated from corn harvested from different geographic areas in Iran. 相似文献

Fumonisin B1 (FB1) is the most abundant of the fumonisin mycotoxins, mainly produced in maize by F. verticillioides and F. proliferatum. A previous study on the FB1 contamination of maize harvested in Mazandaran and Isfahan Provinces of Iran in 1998 and 1999
demonstrated contamination in both provinces. This present study was undertaken to further investigate the variation in levels
of contamination and to estimate possible levels of human exposure to fumonisins in Iran. The mean level of FB1 in 49 visually healthy maize samples collected from Mazandaran Province during 2000 was 6.14 mg/kg, which is higher than
that found during 1998 and 1999 (2.27 and 3.18 mg/kg, respectively). Although these levels are higher than the Iranian legislative
limits for fumonisins in maize intended for humans, the relatively low estimated consumption of maize in Iran (3.3 g/person/day)
implies that average exposures (0.011 and 0.215 μg/kg body weight/day in Isfahan and Mazandaran, respectively) are within
the provisional maximum tolerable daily intake of 2 μg/kg body weight/day set by the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food
Additives. Nevertheless, certain sections of the population who may consume higher amounts of maize or who may replace all
or some of their consumption of other cereals with maize, could well exceed this limit. 相似文献

Fusarium species were isolated from plant debris in soil samples collected from cultivated maize fields and from undisturbed
grasslands in two areas of the Transkei region. A total of 1205 Fusarium isolates were recovered from 27 soil samples. Fifteen
Fusarium species were recovered from plant debris from Bizana soils and 13 Fusarium species from plant debris from Centane
soils. The two dominant Fusarium species in both areas were F. oxysporum and F. equiseti. Very few isolates of F. moniliforme
and F. subglutinans were recovered, but both of these species had significantly higher relative densities in cultivated soils
than in undisturbed soils.

Pineapple (Ananas comosus) is native to South America and widely planted as a fruit crop in the tropics and sub-tropics. This plant is susceptible to a number of fungal diseases of which the most severe is fusariosis. The disease is caused by Fusarium guttiforme and occurs only in South and Central America. The occurrence of a similar disease on pineapples in South Africa has prompted a re-evaluation of the Fusarium sp. associated with pineapple fruit rot. Phylogenetic relationships of isolates from pineapples collected in Brazil and South Africa were assessed based on sequence data for the translation elongation factor-1-α, histone H3 and β-tubulin gene regions. Analyses showed that the South African isolates represent a species distinct from Brazilian isolates. The South African isolates are characterised by a concentration of aerial mycelium at the centres of the colonies, different to the Brazilian isolates that have an even distribution of aerial mycelium. Both phylogenetic and morphological data show that the disease on pineapple in South Africa is caused by a new Fusarium species described here as F. ananatum sp. nov. 相似文献

This study shows for the first time the accumulation of fumonisin mycotoxins in human hair of population clusters exposed to contaminated maize, and thus the feasibility of human hair analysis for the assessment of past fumonisin exposure. Composite hair samples were obtained from the Bizana, Butterworth and Centane districts within the Transkei region of the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. Following methanol extraction and strong anion exchange clean up, the fumonisins FB1, FB2 and FB3 were detected using high performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS). Hair from Centane and Butterworth showed mean levels of FB1 of 26.7 and 23.5 μg kg-1 hair, respectively. FB2 was only detected in hair from Centane and in one sampling point in Butterworth, with mean levels of 6.5 and 5.7 μg kg-1 hair, respectively. Hair samples from Bizana, on the other hand, were found to contain higher levels of FB 1 (mean 33.0 μg kg-1 hair) and FB 2 (mean 11.1 μg kg-1 hair). No samples contained more than trace levels of FB 3 . Recoveries from spiked hair samples using this method ranged from 81% to 101%, demonstrating the applicability of hair analysis in assessing human exposure to fumonisin mycotoxins. 相似文献

Investigations into fungi associated with sorghum grain in Nigeria indicate the occurrence of a newly described fungus, Fusarium andiyazi alongside F. nygamai. These fungi have earlier been reported as F. moniliforme. Our results highlight the need to re-evaluate Fusarium species associated with sorghum in Nigeria. 相似文献
