title: Effect of nutrient variations on growth and brefeldin A formation in Curvularia lunata.
abstract: The highest level of secreted brefeldin A was present in glucose-grown cultures, intermediate levels in glucose-fructose, and xylose cultures and low levels in fructose- and galactose-grown cultures of Curvularia lunata. The biomass decreased from glucose, fructose, xylose, glucose-fructose to galactose cultures. Brefeldin A levels and mycelial yields were low in citrate-, gluconate-, and succinate-grown cultures. Inorganic phosphate-limited cultures supported a high level of brefeldin A. Intermediate levels were present in trace elements-, and inorganic phosphate-trace elements-limited cultures.
