Thermophilic Fungi to Dominate Aflatoxigenic/Mycotoxigenic Fungi on Food under Global Warming
Certain filamentous fungi produce mycotoxins that contaminate food. Mycotoxin contamination of crops is highly influenced by environmental conditions and is already affected by global warming, where there is a succession of mycotoxigenic fungi towards those that have higher optimal growth temperatures. Aflatoxigenic fungi are at the highest limit of temperature although predicted increases in t...
متن کاملToxigenic thermophilic and thermotolerant fungi.
Twenty-three isolates of fungi, representing 13 thermophilic and thermotolerant species, were bioassayed for toxigenicity to brine shrimp, chicken embryos, and rats. Thirteen isolates representing nine genera were highly toxic to at least two of the three systems. Seven additional isolates of five genera were slightly toxic.
متن کاملToxigenic fungi in food.
Forty-five fungal isolates from moldy supermarket foods were tested for toxicity to brine shrimp, and twenty-two of these isolates were subsequently tested for toxicity to chicken embryos. Highly toxigenic fungi were Cladosporium sphaerospermum from a bakery product, Fusarium oxysporum from carrots, F. solani from cabbage, Aspergillus niger and Penicillium corylophilum from bread, P. cyclopium ...
متن کاملThermophilic fungi: their physiology and enzymes.
Thermophilic fungi are a small assemblage in mycota that have a minimum temperature of growth at or above 20 degrees C and a maximum temperature of growth extending up to 60 to 62 degrees C. As the only representatives of eukaryotic organisms that can grow at temperatures above 45 degrees C, the thermophilic fungi are valuable experimental systems for investigations of mechanisms that allow gro...
متن کاملFungi, Food, Poison and Mystery
General Practitioner (Rtd.), Westbury-on-Trym When we speak, loosely, of the structures we call mushrooms and toadstools, we refer to the fruiting bodies of fungi. Fungi, unlike green plants which absorb carbon dioxide from the air, obtain their nutrients by breaking down the tissues of wood, leaves, roots or, occasionally, animals, either living or dead. Essentially, fungi consist of ramifying...
