Abstract
- When the fungus Fusarium tricinctum NRRL 3299 was grown under atmospheres enriched with 50% CO2 and above (given in combination with 20% O2), T-2 production was reduced to 4.0 μg/45 ml of medium, as compared with 21.2 μg/45 ml of medium produced in an atmosphere of air. At 60% CO2/20% O2 and 80% CO2/20% O2, a significant reduction in fungal growth was also observed. The possibility of using controlled atmospheres as a means for mycotoxin control is discussed.
