Contamination and damage of grain and feeds by micromycetes

Abstract

The pupose of research was to study the species composition of toxigenic micromycetes contaminating and damaging of corn, oat, winter wheat and soybean grain. Mycological and statistical methods were used for research. Twenty-four fungal species of plant pathogens and saprotrophs – agents of storage moulds were isolated and identified as a result of mycological analysis of grain samples. Well-known toxin producers from genera Aspergillus, Penicillium, Fusarium, Myrothecium and Trichothecium were found among of them. Along with representatives of the genus Fusarium, microscopic fungus Aspergillus flavus was isolated from soybean grain and corn, it strains detected on these cultures often described as toxic.
