title: Interactive effects of propionic acid and temperature on growth and ochratoxin a production by Penicillium aurantiogriseum.
abstract: Propionate at concentrations up to 0.05% decreased at 25 degrees C the growth and sporulation of Penicillium aurantiogriseum. The standard size of conidiogenous structures (metulae, phialids) and conidia was diminished. The effect was more pronounced at a higher temperature (30 degrees C). Inhibition of ochratoxin production by propionate was also demonstrated.
