title: T-2 toxin degradation by micromycetes.
abstract: The biodegradation of T-2 toxin was studied by strains of micromycetes which were isolated from the environment. The 26 tested strains were divided into three groups. Group contains strains which degraded T-2 toxin very fast. This toxin could not be chromatographically determined in the medium even after 48 hours of incubation and the antifungal activity of residua against Kluyveromyces fragilis CCY-51-1-2 was low or zero. There were strains of Alternaria sp., Ulocladium sp., Aspergillus candidus, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Rhodotorula sp., Aspergillus flavus and Cladosporium macrocarpum. Group II contains with a low activity and in group III the results were variable and non stable.
