The Role of Mould Growth in Mixed Cultures on Production of Aflatoxins on Barleycorn

The realationship between biomass and the biosynthesis of aflatoxins on whole and crushed barleycorn at temperatures from 15-40^oC and a water content in the substrate of 20-40% has been investigated. The experiments have been carried out with the aflatoxigenous mould Aspergillus parasiticus NRRL 2999 in pure culture and in the mixed culture respectively, the later with the common mould Fusarium graminearum ZMPBF 1244. It has been established that the biosynthesis of the examined aflatoxins and their ratio primarily depend on the temperature of cultivation, rather than on the growth of the mycelium.
