Abstract
A total of 137 Fusarium isolates were screened for in vitro production of the mutagenic metabolite fusarin C, using a simple thin layer chromatographic method. It has been proven that Fusarium species (F. culmorum, F. graminearum, F. crookwellense, F. sporotrichioides, F. poae, F. tricinctum, and F. Avenaceum) isolated from European agricultural crops and soils are able to produce fusarin C. No fusarin C production was detected among isolates of F. arthrosporioides, F. acuminatum, or F. equiseti. Results obtained by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analyses of fungal extracts show that up to 26 chromatographic peaks having UV spectra similar to that of fusarin C are produced. It is not known if any of these metabolites are as mutagenic as fusarin C.
