title: Toxicity of Fusarium metabolites to brine shrimps (Artemia salina).
abstract: Extracts of the followingFusaria cultures, isolated from cereals were examined for toxicity to Artemia salina:F. avenaceum (6 isolates),F. crookwellense (7),F. graminearum (11),F. nivale (5) andF. Sporotrichioides (2). The same cultures, growing on wheat grain, were assayed also mycotoxins presence using TLC method. Most toxic were found cultures ofF. Sporotrichioides and results of bioassay was similar to results of their TLC analysis. We found cultures of newly described speciesF. Crookwellense to be more toxic than cultures ofF. Graminearum.
