Comparative study of the intensity of alternariol accumulation by Alternaria alternata strains on vegetable agar media
The article presents data on the intensity of alternariol production by two strains of Alternaria alternata on 7 agar vegetable media. The study showed that the accumulation of toxin was the greatest (12 and 34 μg/g) on the analogue of V-8 agar from the ready-made multi-vegetable juice “Global Village” (Russia) and reduced (0.9 and 11 μg/g) on the V-4 composite medium recommended for species identification of fungi of this genus. Toxin formation was extremely weak (0.04-4.4 μg/g) on substrates with separate addition of carrot, tomato and beet juices.
