Table 2.

Fumonisin B1 (FB1), B2 (FB2) and B3 (FB3) production, expressed in µg/g, of F. verticillioides and F. proliferatum strains from Iranian maize kernels. For each mycotoxin, the number of positive strains on total analysed strains, and range and mean of production with standard error (SE) are reported.
