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

چکیده
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 solution containing 1% l-phenylalanine and 2% yeast extract.

Ochratoxin production by the Aspergillus ochraceus group and Aspergillus alliaceus.
Ochratoxin A is a toxic and carcinogenic fungal secondary metabolite; its presence in foods is increasingly regulated. Various fungi are known to produce ochratoxins, but it is not known which species produce ochratoxins consistently and which species cause ochratoxin contamination of various crops. We isolated fungi in the Aspergillus ochraceus group (section Circumdati) and Aspergillus alliac...
متن کاملProduction of penicillic acid and ochratoxin A on poultry feed by Aspergillus ochraceus: temperature and moisture requirements.
A strain of Aspergillus ochraceus Wilhelm, isolated from poultry feed, produced both penicillic acid and ochratoxin A. Studies demonstrating the ability of this fungus to colonize poultry feed and produce these two mycotoxins under various temperatures and moistures indicated that the interaction was complex. The optimal temperature for conidial development did not vary with moisture, but accum...
متن کاملProduction of ochratoxin A by Aspergillus ochraceus in a semisynthetic medium.
Aspergillus ochraceus NRRL 3174 produced 29 mg of ochratoxin A per 100 ml of nutrient medium consisting of 4% sucrose and 2% yeast extract. Ochratoxin A was the sole metabolite present in the chloroform extracts of the growth medium. Trace amounts of ochratoxin B were produced in a 1% yeast medium, and a comparatively large amount of ochratoxin B was produced in media containing 16 and 32% sucr...

Isolates of Aspergillus chevalieri, A. flavus, A. ochraceus, A. repens, and Penicillium funiculosum and complexes of P. citrinum-P. implicatum isolated from moldy pecan meats were toxic to chicks.
متن کاملEffect of Temperature on Ochratoxin a Production in Common Cereals by Aspergillus Species
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a naturally occurring fungal metabolite produced by some species of Aspergillus and Penicillium. OTA being nephrotoxic, carcinogenic, hepatotoxic and immunosuppressive imparts many human and animal health hazards. In this study OTA production was observed at different temperatures (5oC, 10oC, 20oC, 30oC and 40oC) in three substrates (corn, rice and wheat) by A. ochraceus a...
