title: Influence of temperature on zearalenone production by regional strains of Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium oxysporum in culture.
abstract: Zearalenone production by Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium oxysporum was studied under two temperature conditions. Incubation at 25 degrees C for 4 weeks enhanced zearalenone synthesis, improving detection of zearalenone-producing strains of Fusarium oxysporum. Zearalenone production was either totally or partially inhibited when temperature was lowered to 12-14 degrees C during the last 2 weeks of incubation.
