Abstract
A total of 176 isolates of the genus Aspergillus were screened for the ir ability to produce ochratoxin A in yeast extract-sucrose broth and on moistened corn. Besides being produced by A. ochraceus and A. allia ceus, ochratoxin A was produced by one isolate of A. fumigatus and one of A. versicolor, species not previously reported to produce this myc otoxin.
