Production of zearalenone, T-2 toxin, and deoxynivalenol by Fusarium spp. isolated from plant materials grown in North Carolina

K E Richardson et al. Mycopathologia. 1985 Jun.

Abstract

Fusarium spp. isolated from plant materials grown in the hot, humid climate of North Carolina were tested for production of mycotoxins. Isolates of F. acuminatum, F. graminearum, F. moniliforme, F. oxysporum, and F. solani produced zearalenone while isolates of F. equiseti and F. graminearum produced T-2 toxin and deoxynivalenol, respectively. This is the first report of zearalenone production by F. solani. The toxins were identified by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. These findings suggest that there are toxigenic strains of Fusarium indigenous to the warmer regions of the USA and that fasariotoxicoses of animals in this region are not necessarily the result of importing toxic grains from the cooler, upper midwestern USA.
