| Abstract: | A disk diffusion type bioassay was developed for T-2 toxin using the yeast Kluyveromyces fragilis. The lower limit of detection for this in 0.2 μg of T-2 toxin. The growth of this yeast was sensitive to other trichothecenes such as verrucarin A (0.01 μg). Aflatoxin B1 (50 μg) and zearalanone (20 μg) did not inhibit the growth of this yeast. |
