Toxicity of mycotoxins and other fungal metabolites to Artemia salina larvae.
We investigated the toxicity of 32 different mycotoxins, 7 macrolides, not 3 other fungal metabolites to Artemia saline (Brine Shrimp) larvae. We modified the known procedures of testing mycotoxins to A. salina larvae and found the latter to be a convenient model for comparing the toxicity of mycotoxins and other secondary metabolities. Results obtained were evaluated by the probit analysis.
