fumonisin

For fumonisin, it is necessary to use a commercial lab.

The most abundantly produced member of the family is fumonisin B1.

This approach may provide innovative solutions to the problem of fumonisin in corn.

The most produced toxin for this group of fungi is fumonisin B1.

The enzyme is involved in degradation of fumonisin B1.

Until now, nothing about the kinetics and metabolism of fumonisin B in humans have been reported.

If bioavailable to humans, this "hidden" fumonisin could be of health significance.

Organic corn will likely have greater amounts of fumonisin and bacterial contamination.

Fumonisin B1 contamination of maize has been reported worldwide at mg/kg levels.

It is a structural analog of fumonisin B1.

Fumonisin B is hepatotoxic and nephrotoxic in all animal species tested.

Although it is phytotoxic, fumonisin B1 is not required for plant pathogenesis.

Many regulatory agencies have therefore established recommended maximum fumonisin levels permitted in food and feed products made from corn.

Fumonisin mycotoxins have been shown to cause liver and kidney tumours in rodents.

Key words: water activity, temperature, germination, fumonisin producing, Fusarium spp.

Most strains do not produce the toxin, so the presence of the fungus does not necessarily mean that fumonisin is also present.

A fumonisin is a mycotoxin derived from Fusarium, Liseola section.

Fumonisin B is possibly embryotoxic if the dose is maternally toxic.

Fumonisin B2 and other fumonisins frequently contaminate maize and other crops.

This enzyme probably catalyzes the synthesis of a polyketide that forms a large portion of the fumonisin structure.

These results indicated that fumonisin B1 caused rapid, light-dependent cytoplasmic and chloroplast disruption, through an unknown mechanism.

Fumonisin B2 inhibits sphingosine acyltransferase.

CerS4 synthesizes ceramides containing C18-22 fatty acids in a fumonisin B1-independent manner.

The effect of a single gavagedose of fumonisin B2 on the sphinganine and sphingosine concentrations in vervet monkeys.

The bound fumonisins are not detectable by the usual analyses but can be estimated following hydrolysis, so that the hydrolysed fumonisin B1 is measured.
