Production of moniliformin by Canadian isolates of Fusarium.
Twenty-eight Canadian isolates of Fusarium were tested for their ability to produce moniliformin in corn. Both F. moniliforme (2/6 isolates) and F. subglutinans (11/15 isolates) produced the mycotoxin, while F. graminearum did not. Field-corn inoculated with F. moniliforme M3783 was able to support production of both moniliformin and fusarin C.
