Abstract
Summary: The termination of storage life of most of the cereals is due to onset of attack by certain fungi. The grains may not be free from the infecting units and thus become a source to cause deleterious effects. Aspergillus flavus Link, Penicillium notatum Westling and Helminthosporium oryzae Breda de Haan isolated from the infected food stuff showed pronounced toxic effects on plants and animals. In the case of poultry, serious pathological changes are noted in the kidney, heart and liver when crude toxin preparations from Aspergillus flavus mixed with normal foodstuff was given. The toxins also inhibited germination of maize seeds and their growth. Attempts have been made during the course of the present study to isolate and identify the toxic compounds and determine their mode of action on plant and animal tissues. Zusammenfassung: Die Lagerungsfähigkeit der meisten aus Getreide hergestellten Lebensmittel wird durch die schädliche Einwirkung bestimmter Pilze begrenzt. Getreide‐körner können befallen sein und so die Ursache krankmachender Effekte werden. Aspergillus flavus Link, Penicillium notatum Westing und Helminthosporium oryzae Brede de Haan, die aus infizierten Nahrungsmitteln isoliert wurden, zeigten ausgepragte toxische Wirkung auf Pflanzen und Tiere. Bei Geflugel wurden nach Fütterung mit normalem Futter, dem ungereinigte Toxinextrakte aus Aspergillus flavus beigegeben waren, schwere pathologische Veranderungen an Niere, Herz und Leber beobachtet. Die Toxine hemmten auch die Auskeimung und das Wachstum von Maissamen. Im Rahmen dieser Untersuchung wurde der Versuch unternommen, die toxischen Verbindungen zu isolieren und zu identifizieren und ihre Wirkungsweise auf Pflanzen und Tiere zu bestimmen.
