Abstract
Of 10 Penicillium species reported to cause blue-eye disease of corn, four (P. martensii, P. palitans, P. cyclopium, P. puberulum) were found capable of producing the mycotoxin penicillic acid on various agricultural commodities. Commodities with high protein contents did not support toxin synthesis. The extent of toxin production varied with the strain of mold, the commodity, and the temperature; low temperatures (1 to 10 C) favored toxin accumulation.
