8-Deoxy-trichothecin production by Spicellum roseum isolated from a cultivated mushroom in Japan.

Improved CMCase production by Spicellum roseum

Some biological properties of trichothecin, an antifungal substance from Trichothecium roseum Link.

The isolation and chemical properties of trichothecin, an antifungal substance from Trichothecium roseum Link.

Stimulation of yield in the cultivated mushroom by vegetable oils.

Supplementation of mushroom compost at spawning and at casing with various refined and crude seed oils resulted in 1 to 1.5 lb/ft increases in mushroom yield. Supplementation at casing with ground seeds or protein-oil combinations caused 2 to 2.5 lb/ft increases in mushroom yield. Further evidence is presented for a relationship between lipid metabolism and the initiation of fruiting in the cul...

Production of ochratoxin A by Aspergillus ochraceus isolated in Japan from moldy rice.

A simple thin-layer chromatography-fluorodensitometric method for quantitative analysis of ochratoxin A was developed. This method proved to be of use in investigating the production of the toxin and the nutritional factors affecting the toxin production by two strains of Aspergillus ochraceus isolated from moldy rice in Japan. These fungi produced large amounts of ochratoxin A in a nutrient so...
