Abstract:

Mycotoxins such as Citrinin are small toxic molecules produced by a great variety of microorganism, which encompass several classes of secondary metabolites with no common chemical structure or mode of action. Citrinin produces by different species of Penicillium. Today, the cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAPP) method has a potential for mycotoxin detoxification. In this study, a new and promising approach involving the use of cold atmospheric pressure plasma is considered, which may overcome multiple weaknesses associated with the classical methods. In this study, samples included wheat, corn; rice and Barley were obtained from northern parts of Iran (Lahijan). Initially, the output of the power supply was set to 50 kV, 100 watts, and the electron frequency of 30 kHz (optimal conditions to effective plasma). Then, the effect of cold atmospheric jet plasma (argon) on gas was investigated in 30, 60 and 360 seconds (gas flow rate of 6 liters per minute). The results showed us that the cold atmospheric pressure plasma method effectively production pure mycotoxins. The rate of various mycotoxins destruction varies according to their structure. It was also shown in the study that the combination of mycotoxins in foods would reduce the plasma's effect, but not prevent them from degrading. Finally, in this study, descendants in all samples were performed successfully. The atmospheric pressure plasma method has a natural biodegradation effect and has the least negative effect on food products in comparison with conventional methods of disinfection of food products in addition to the detoxification characteristics.

Production of citrinin by Penicillium viridicatum on country-cured ham.

Seven strains of Penicillium viridicatum isolated from country-cured ham produced citrinin in potato dextrose broth and on country-cured ham. None of the strains produced detectable amounts of citrinin at 10 C. The optimal temperature range for citrinin production was 25 to 30 C.

Pigments and citrinin biosynthesis by fungi belonging to genus Monascus.

Citrinin is a mycotoxin, which is produced by fungi belonging to the genus Monascus, known in biotechnology as producers of azaphilone pigments. The relation between biosynthesis of these secondary metabolites was investigated in different species of the genus Monascus in batch-culture at the following cultivation conditions: T = 28 degrees C, agitation 220 rpm, and a medium, which induce citri...

Inhibition of Citrinin Production in Penicillium citrinum Cultures by Neem [Azadirachta indica A. Juss (Meliaceae)]

The efficacy of different concentrations of aqueous neem leaf extract (3.12 to 50 mg/mL) on growth and citrinin production in three isolates of Penicillium citrinum was investigated under laboratory conditions. Mycotoxin production by the isolates was suppressed, depending on the concentration of the plant extract added to culture media at the time of spore inoculation. Citrinin production in f...

Penicillin production by wild isolates of Penicillium chrysogenum in Pakistan

The present study was aimed at exploring the native wild isolates of Penicillium chrysogenum series in terms of their penicillin production potential. Apart from the standard medium, the efforts were made to utilize suitable agro-industrial wastes for the maximum yield of penicillin. Two series of P. chrysogenum were isolated from local sources and named as P. chrysogenum series UAF R1 and P. c...

(GTG)5 microsatellite regions in citrinin-producing Penicillium.

Morphological and cultural characteristics, as well as biochemical properties, are the main criteria used in fungal taxonomy and in the standard description of fungi species. Sometimes, however, this criterion is difficult to apply due to fungal phenotypic variations. This is particularly true in the genus Penicillium. The aims of this work were to determine (GTG)5 microsatellite sequence in po...
