Abstract
The production of deoxynivalenol, acetyl deoxynivalenol and zearalenon e by Fusarium culmorum and F. graminearum on autoclave-sterilized grai n (maize, rice, wheat and barley) was investigated. Fusarium culmorum produced significantly greater levels of toxins than F. graminearum. T he four substrates examined differed in their ability to support toxin production. Toxin production on maize and rice was significantly grea ter than toxin production on barley or wheat.
