[Nitrogen-containing mycotoxins of fungi of Aspergillus and Penicillium species infesting grain and its products]
Abstract
The review summarizes the literature data on distribution of nitrogen-containing mycotoxins (alkaloids) among Penicillium and Aspergillus fungi infesting grain and products of grain processing. Particular attention in given to clavins (ergotalkaloids) and tremorgens (roquefortine, verruculogen, penitrems).
