Culture characteristics, growth kinetic and citrinin production by Penicillium citrinum thom isolates recovered from Argentinean corn

Citrinin production ability in a liquid medium, the macroscopic morphological characters and growth rate on agarized medium were observed on thirty-seven Penicillium citrinum Thorn isolates recovered from freshly harvested corn in the main production area in Argentina. It was shown that the percenta...

Sumario:Citrinin production ability in a liquid medium, the macroscopic morphological characters and growth rate on agarized medium were observed on thirty-seven Penicillium citrinum Thorn isolates recovered from freshly harvested corn in the main production area in Argentina. It was shown that the percentage of strains with toxin ability production was higher among the isolates, which grew at lower rates. No correlation was found between the citrinin production ability and the macroscopic morphological characters observed. It is likely the occurrence of citrinin in the corn harvested in Argentina.
