Production of fumonisins by Fusarium moniliforme and Fusarium proliferatum isolates associated with equine leukoencephalomalacia and a pulmonary edema syndrome in swine.

چکیده
Fumonisin B1 (FB1) and FB2 were isolated from corn cultures of both Fusarium moniliforme and Fusarium proliferatum. Respective concentrations in culture materials of FB1 and FB2 ranged from 960 to 2,350 and 120 to 320 micrograms/g for F. moniliforme and from 1,670 to 2,790 and 150 to 320 micrograms/g for F. proliferatum. Thin-layer chromatography, gas chromatography-mass spectroscopy, high-performance liquid chromatography, and liquid secondary ion mass spectroscopy were used for detection. Fumonisins from F. proliferatum have not previously been reported.

Survey of fumonisin production by Fusarium species.
Fumonisins B1 (FB1) and B2 (FB2), two structurally related mycotoxins with cancer-promoting activity, were recently isolated from corn cultures of Fusarium moniliforme MRC 826. These toxins have been reported to be produced also by isolates of F. proliferatum. Contamination of foods and feeds by F. moniliforme has been associated with human esophageal cancer risk, and FB1 has been shown to be t...
متن کاملLeukoencephalomalacia Outbreak in Horses due to Consumption of Contaminated Hay
Fumonisins are thermostable toxins produced by Fusarium spp. These fungi commonly contaminate corn and other types of cereal; nevertheless, they rarely contaminate hay, and when contamination occurs, it is uncommonly a toxic strain. These mycotoxins were first described by a study group in South Africa after 20 years of searching for the substance produced by F. moniliforme that causes leukoenc...

The fumonisins, a family of food-borne carcinogenic mycotoxins, were first isolated in 1988 (21) from cultures of Fusarium verticillioides (Sacc.) Nirenberg (previously known as Fusarium moniliforme Sheldon). During the same year, the structures of the fumonisins were elucidated (6) and fumonisin B1 was shown to cause equine leukoencephalomalacia (34). There have been numerous publications deal...

Fumonisins are mycotoxins produced by Fusarium moniliforme, a common fungal contaminant of corn worldwide, 10 and F. proliferatum, a closely related species.l.Io.'9 The true incidence of F. moniliforme is difficult to determine because F. proliferatum has often been misidentified as F. moniliforme. lO,'3 Certain strains of F. proliferatum also produce moniliformin, but isolates of F. moniliform...

INTRODUCTION Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by a variety of pathogenic fungi. Common mycotoxins of human and veterinary interest are produced by species in the genera Aspergillus, Claviceps, Fusarium, and Penicillium. There are over 100 known species of fungi that produce mycotoxins. Some species of fungi produce single mycotoxins, while others produce multiple toxins. it is impo...
