title: [Characteristics of mycotoxin accumulation in lichens].
abstract: The levels and frequencies of mycotoxin accumulation in lichens belonging to 20 genera of the families Cladoniaceae, Nephromataceae, Parmeliaceae, Peltigeraceae, Telosshistaceae, and Umbilicari- aceae were characterized using enzyme immunoassay. Alternariol, sterigmatocystin, mycophenolic acid, cit- rinin, cyclopiazonic acid, and emodin were regularly detected in all genera, except for Peltigera, at an average level of more than 1000 ng/g (i.e., 0.0001%). The necessity for the safety monitoring of drugs based on lichen extractives is discussed.
