Incidencia de hongos potencialmente toxigénicos en maíz (Zea mays L.) de diferentes orígenes geográficos en México
Main Article Content
Abstract
Corn is affected in the field and during storage by toxin-producing fungi such as Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium. Due to the importance of mycotoxin contamination, molecules that affect primarily the liver and kidney, the present study was performed in order to determine the incidence of potentially toxigenic fungi in corn from fourteen states of the Mexican Republic. Fusarium was present in 76.99 % of the samples analyzed, A. flavus in 11.72 %, A. parasiticus in 0.57 % and Penicillium in 0.53 %.
