| Abstract: | Twenty-five strains of Penicillium spp. isolated from mould-infected discoloured outdoor softwood were analysed for mycotoxin production. Patulin was found to be produced by Penicillium expansion at 4° and 20°C incubation when cultured on wood blocks and wood chips. One strain of P. nordicum (not wood-associated) produced ochratoxin A when cultured on wood chips. |
