Abstract
The fungal contamination in green beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) was st udied according to their location and height during growth in greenhou ses. The genera most frequently isolated were Aureobasidium, Aspergill us, Penicillium, and Alternaria. Height and location did not have a si gnificant influence on the fungal contamination of the beans. A strain of A. flavus was isolated which had the capacity to synthesize aflato xins in vitro.
