The Effect of Mushroom Culture Filtrates on the Inhibition of Mycotoxins Produced by and .

Two of the mycotoxins of greatest agroeconomic significance are aflatoxin B (AFB), and ochratoxin A (OTA). It has been reported that extracts from some wood-decaying mushrooms, such as and showed the ability to inhibit AFB or OTA biosynthesis. Therefore, in our study, a wide screening of 42 isolates of different ligninolytic mushrooms was assayed for their ability to inhibit the synthesis of OTA in and AFB in , in order to find a metabolite that can simultaneously inhibit both mycotoxins.
