Production of cyclopiazonic acid by Aspergillus tamarii Kita.

J W Dorner
PMCID: PMC239590  PMID: 6660879

Abstract

Production of the mycotoxin cyclopiazonic acid by Aspergillus tamarii Kita is reported for the first time. Examination of 23 isolates of the fungus showed that 22 produced the toxin under the culture conditions utilized.
