Abstract

A highly toxic strain ofFusarium sporotrichioides Sherb. (P-11) isolated from wheat in Poland produced on rice culture up to 11 trichothecenes, which are: T-2 toxin (750 ppm), neosolaniol (300 ppm), HT-2 toxin (75 ppm), acetyl T-2 toxin (35ppm), 3′-hydroxy-T-2 (20ppm), T-2 triol (12.5ppm), 3′-hydroxy-HT-2 (1.2ppm), 4-acetoxy-T-2 tetraol (1.1 ppm), 15-acetoxy-T-2 tetraol (0.65 ppm), 8-acetoxy-T-2 tetraol (0.45 ppm), and T-2 tetraol (0.2 ppm). The presence of most of these trichothecenes, including the 3′-hydroxy-derivatives, in the excreta of animals treated with T-2 toxin indicates the existence of some correlation between T-2 toxin metabolism in animals and microorganisms, respectively.
