Abstract
Mycotoxins produced by seven strains ofPenicillium vulpinum (formerlyPenicillium claviforme) isolated from different sources were studied. The strains were characterized by specific profiles of secondary metabolites and produced mycotoxins of different structural types. In addition to toxins already known for this fungal species (patulin, roquefortine, 3,12-dihydroroquefortine, oxalin, viridicatin, cyclopenin, and α-cyclopiazonic acid), the strains studied also produced indolyl-3-acetic acid, griseofulvin, meleagrin, and cyclopeptin.
