TLDR
An investigation of the toxigenicity of moulds recovered from domestic cereal and legume crops is described, finding seven species caused death within 14 days and six showed less severe toxic effects while the remaining 9 gave no signs of acute poisoning in the animals.Abstract:
An investigation of the toxigenicity of moulds recovered from domestic cereal and legume crops is described. Two hundred and twenty-eight mould strains, representing 59 species, were tested by feeding Pekin ducklings on maize meal infected with pure cultures. Forty-six strains, representing 22 species, caused death within 14 days. These 22 species were subsequently fed to weaned white mice and rats. Seven of these species caused death within 14 days, 6 showed less severe toxic effects while the remaining 9 gave no signs of acute poisoning in the animals.read more

Ochratoxin production by Aspergillus species
TL;DR: Ochratoxin production was tested in 172 strains representing species in sections Fumigati, Circumdati, Candidi, and Wentii of the genus Aspergillus by an immunochemical method using a monoclonal antibody preparation against ochrat toxin A and the chemical methods indicated the production of ochRatoxin B by all of the As pergillus strains mentioned above.

Immunochemical detection of ochratoxin A in black Aspergillus strains
TL;DR: The monoclonal antibody-based ELISA technique was successfully used to screen for low levels of ochratoxin A in the black Aspergilli without concentrating the culture filtrates, confirmed by TLC and HPLC analysis and chemical derivatization.

Polyphasic taxonomy of the heat resistant ascomycete genus Byssochlamys and its Paecilomyces anamorphs.
TL;DR: A comparative study of all Byssochlamys species was carried out using a polyphasic approach to find characters that differentiate species and to establish accurate data on potential mycotoxin production by each species.
