Abstract
A strain (number 19) having the ability to produce some indole alkaloi ds was isolated from moulded maize silage, and was identical with Peni cillium roqueforti. Roquefortine C was isolated from the culture broth in crystalline form as a main alkaloid and was identified as a minor alkaloid by thin-layer chromatography (TLC) in a maize silage inoculat ed with the strain. Further, roquefortine A, B and D together with fes tuclavine were identified by TLC. The alkaloid contents in silage were analysed to be 2.40 mg kg(-1) (roquefortine A) and 1.66 mg kg(-1) (ro quefortine C).
