[Alkaloids from Penicillium species fungi isolated from food products]
Abstract
Alkaloid- and toxin-forming ability of 18 strains of Penicillium fungi, isolated from foodstuffs, is studied. It is shown that all cultures are producers of alkaloids and mycotoxins that belong to different structural groups. The composition of isolated metabolites, synthesized under submerged and surface cultivation on complex and synthetic media, is established.
