Aspergillus carbonarius as the main source of ochratoxin A contamination in dried vine fruits from the Spanish market.
TLDR
Among black aspergilli, A. carbonarius has shown a consistent ability to produce OTA and is the most probable source of this mycotoxin in these substrates.About:

New ochratoxin A or sclerotium producing species in Aspergillus section Nigri.
TL;DR: Four new sclerotium and/or ochratoxin A producing species belonging to Aspergillus section Nigri are proposed and a provisional revision and synoptic key ofsection Nigri is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Taxonomy and significance of black aspergilli.
TL;DR: An overview of the significance of black aspergilli is provided focusing on all the approaches made in the taxonomy of this group of fungi.

Ochratoxins: a global perspective.
Paul Bayman,James L. Baker +1 more
TL;DR: Ochratoxins have been overshadowed by better-known mycotoxins, but they are gaining importance, and here they are considered in the context of aflatoxins which are better understood than ochRatoxins on many levels.

Mycotoxins in botanicals and dried fruits: a review.
Mary W Trucksess,Peter M. Scott +1 more
TL;DR: This review discusses the occurrence of mycotoxins in botanicals and dried fruits and analytical issues such as sampling, sample preparation, and methods for analysis, and the influence of sorting, storage, and processing, and prevention.

Ochratoxin A production and amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis of Aspergillus carbonarius, Aspergillus tubingensis, and Aspergillus niger strains isolated from grapes in Italy.
Giancarlo Perrone,Giuseppina Mulè,Antonia Susca,Paola Battilani,Amedeo Pietri,Antonio Logrieco +5 more
TL;DR: Findings indicate that A. tubingensis is able to produce ochratoxin and that, together with A. carbonarius and A. niger, it may be responsible for the ochRatoxin contamination of wine in Italy.

Toxic effects of mycotoxins in humans.
TL;DR: Epidemiological, clinical and histological findings (when available) in outbreaks of mycotoxicoses resulting from exposure to aflatoxins, ergot, trichothecenes, ochratoxin, 3-nitropropionic acid, zearalenone and fumonisins are discussed.

Risk assessment of the mycotoxin ochratoxin A.
T Kuiper-Goodman,P M Scott +1 more
TL;DR: It is recommended that exposure to OA be kept to a minimum, and further monitoring programs are required to better define the overall residue profile of OA in cereal grains, animal feeds, animal food products, and human blood.
Ochratoxin A Production byStrains ofAspergillus niger var. niger
TL;DR: In a survey of the occurrence of ochratoxin A-positive strains isolated from feedstuffs, two of the 19 isolates of Aspergillus niger var.

Ochratoxin A production by strains of Aspergillus niger var. niger.
TL;DR: In a survey of the occurrence of ochratoxin A (OA)-positive strains isolated from feedstuffs, two of the 19 isolates of Aspergillus niger var. niger that were studied produced OA in 2% yeast extract-15% sucrose broth and in corn cultures as mentioned in this paper.

An easy screening method for fungi producing ochratoxin A in pure culture
TL;DR: A simple screening method has been developed for detecting ochratoxin production by fungi, based on high-performance liquid chromatographic determinations on extracts obtained from agar plugs cut from pure Petri dish cultures, which provides quantitative information on the level of ochRatoxin produced by the cultures.
