Production of xanthomegnin and viomellein by species of Aspergillus correlated with mycotoxicosis produced in mice

J E Robbers et al. Appl Environ Microbiol. 1978 Dec.

Abstract

By using thin-layer chromatography and infrared spectroscopy, xanthomegnin and viomellein have been isolated and identified from species of the Aspergillus ochraceus group. A correlation was established between the occurrence of these fungal quinones in the fungal cultural products and the ability of these products to induce mycotoxicosis in mice. In addition, a method was employed to estimate the amount of xanthomegnin and viomellein produced by the fungi.
