Title: Isolation of Penicillium strains producing ochratoxin A, citrinin, xanthomegnin, viomellein and vioxanthin from stored cereal grains

These isolates were identified as Penicillium verrucosum and all also produced citrinin. However, the storage fungi isolated most frequently in the study were those of the complex Penicillium aurantiogriseum group, most strains of which produced xanthomegnin, viomellein and vioxanthin in liquid and solid culture. Potential for the simultaneous occurrence of five nephrotoxic mycotoxins in poorly stored grain in the UK has therefore been shown. The less sensitive analytical method for xanthomegnin, viomellein and vioxanthin may result in under-estimation of their occurrence in practice in comparison to that for ochratoxin A and critinin.Read More
