Diacetoxyscirpenol production by Fusarium sambucinum strain KF 735 on solid and liquid media

The yield of diacetoxyscirpenol (DAS) production by F. sambucinum strain No KF 735, isolated from potato tuber with dry rot symptoms, cultured on solid media and on liquid medium, has been examined.The amount of DAS produced within 28 days at 25°C in the cultures grown on solid media (wheat, rye, rice, oats, corn, barley, triticale and malt) reached 238mg/kg±9 to 789±16mg/kg (mean ± standard error; n=3), on potato cubes -55±3mg/kg and on the potato extract -147±5mg/dcm(3).The best substracts for crystalline compound production were malt and barley grain.
