Bacillus subtilis; a sensitive bioassay for patulin

Bacillus subtilis; a sensitive bioassay for patulin

J Reiss. Bull Environ Contam Toxicol. 1975 Jun.

Abstract

The inhibition of the germination of Bacillus subtilis spores by patulin provides a sensitive and simple technique for the microbiological detection of this mycotoxin. The paper disc assay procedure is performed in standardized plastic plates containing agar and spores. Significant inhibition was obtained with as little as 1 microgram patulin.
