| characterization of an epizootic of pulmonary edema in swine associated with fumonisin in corn screenings. | in 1989, corn screenings were associated with acute interstitial pulmonary edema, hydrothorax, and death in swine. attack rate was 5-50%, case fatality rate was 50-90%, and clinical course was 1-2 days. screenings from farms with pigs affected with pulmonary edema contained 20-330 micrograms fumonisin b1 per gram. screenings containing 92 micrograms fumonisin b1 per gram fed to weanling pigs caused pulmonary edema and death. sterilized corn inoculated with fusarium moniliforme and diluted 1:1 wi ... | 1992 | 1554770 |
| antifungal metabolites (monorden, monocillins i, ii, iii) from colletotrichum graminicola, a systemic vascular pathogen of maize. | colletotrichum graminicola is a systemic vascular pathogen that causes anthracnose stalk rot and leaf blight of maize. in the course of an effort to explore the potential presence and roles of c. graminicola metabolites in maize, ethyl acetate extracts of solid substrate fermentations of several c. graminicola isolates from michigan and illinois were found to be active against aspergillus flavus and fusarium verticillioides, both mycotoxin-producing seed-infecting fungal pathogens. chemical inve ... | 2009 | 19825415 |
| a protective endophyte of maize: acremonium zeae antibiotics inhibitory to aspergillus flavus and fusarium verticillioides. | the maize endophyte acremonium zeae is antagonistic to kernel rotting and mycotoxin producing fungi aspergillus flavus and fusarium verticillioides in cultural tests for antagonism, and interferes with a. flavus infection and aflatoxin contamination of preharvest maize kernels. chemical studies of an organic extract from maize kernel fermentations of acremonium zeae (nrrl 13540), which displayed significant antifungal activity against aspergillus flavus and f. verticillioides, revealed that the ... | 2005 | 16018316 |
