Other claims from this paper (17)
- Observation Wheat grain samples from the Polissya region carried an average of 2.88-104 +/- 3.62-103 CFU per 1 g of grain.
- Observation Twenty species of microscopic fungi belonging to 9 genera were isolated from wheat grain of the Polissya zone.
- Observation Aspergillus occurred in 83.0% of the wheat grain samples.
- Observation Fusarium occurred in 60.4% of the wheat grain samples.
- Observation Penicillium occurred in 47.2% of the wheat grain samples.
- Observation Mycelia occurred in 15.1% of the samples, and Phoma was reported at a similar frequency (written 15,.1 %).
- Observation Aspergillus niger was detected in 17.0% of the samples.
- Observation Aspergillus candidus was detected in 9.4% of the samples.
- Observation Aspergillus terreus was detected in 1.9% of the samples.
- Observation Fusarium spp. were identified in 17.0% of the samples.
- Observation Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium moniliforme and Fusarium semitectum were each identified in 5.7% of the samples.
- Observation Fusarium culmorum was identified in 3.8% of the samples.
- Observation Isolates F. sporotrichiella var. tricinctum 1218/4 and F. sporotrichiella 1218/5 were atoxic against the test culture Candida pseudotropicalis strain 44 PC.
- Observation F. sporotrichiella var. tricinctum 1218/4 produced a growth retardation zone with Rf 0.05 and an unidentified trichothecene mycotoxin (TTMT).
- Observation Aspergillus flavus isolate 1219/3 was first to produce kojic and aspergillic acids.
- Observation Aspergillus flavus isolate 1221/1 was second to synthesize penicillic and aspergillic acids.
- Recommendation The authors conclude that studies of wheat grain should be carried out throughout Ukraine during harvesting and storage.
