Abstract
The cytotoxicty and ability to produce mycotoxins of 35 strains of the eight most common Fusarium species isolated from Norwegian cereals we re determined. The examined species were F. avenacetum, F. culmorum, F . equiseti, F. graminearum, F. poae, F. sporotrichioides, F. torulosum and F. tricinctum. The strains were cultivated on rice and their cyto toxic properties examined with an in vitro MTT-cell culture assay, and analysed for the most common trichothecenes, fusarochromanone, wortma nnin, moniliformin and enniatins.
