چکیده
A mycotoxin responsible for vomiting in swine has been isolated from Fusarium-contaminated field corn. The compound was tentatively identified as a trichothecene, 3,7,15-trihydroxy-12,13-epoxy-trichothe-9-en-8-one, and has been given the trivial name vomitoxin.

Co-identity of the refusal and emetic principle from Fusarium-infected corn.
The structure of vomitoxin isolated from Fusarium-contaminated corn was proved to be 3,7,15-trihydroxy-12,13-epoxytrichothec-9-en-8-one. This same toxin is responsible for the "refusal phenomenon" exhibited by swine fed contaminated corn. In addition, two new substances believed to be trichothecenes were isolated from naturally infected corn. Vomitoxin was also isolated from rice inoculated wit...
متن کاملVomitoxin : Natural Occurrence on Cereal Grains and Significance as a Refusal and Emetic Factor to Swine
Fifty 12,13-epoxytrichothecenes have been reported in the literature; of these diacetoxyscirpenol, T-2 toxin, nivalenol and vomitoxin have been naturally occurring in cereal grains throughout the world. Vomitoxin is produced in ears of corn prior to harvest when wet, cool weather precedes which favours Gibberella zeae growth. This type of infected corn, which often contains vomitoxin, is associ...
متن کاملA simple technique for single spore isolation of Fusarium verticilloides
Fusarium verticillioides (syn. F. moniliforme) and F. subglutinans belonging to the Liseola section of Fusarium (Nelson et al., 1983), are well known pathogens of corn, causing stalk and ear rot world-wide (Nelson et al., 1981; Leslie et al., 1990; Logrieco et al., 1993; Bottalico, 1998). These pathogens have the ability to produce and accumulate mycotoxins in infected tissues that may have dan...

متن کاملProduction of deoxynivalenol and zearalenone by isolates of Fusarium graminearum Schw.
The production of deoxynivalenol (DONI) on rice, corn, wheat, and barley grains by Fusarium graminearum Schw. NRRL 5883 was investigated. Highest yields (91.9-202 ppm) were obtained on rice; yields on the other substrates were: corn (34.1-84.5 ppm), wheat (3.6-24.4 ppm), and barley (0-6.6 ppm). Fifty isolates of Fusarium from corn inoculated in the field in 1979 with a mixture of strains of F. ...
