Abstract:
An isolate of Laetisaria fuciformis in axenic culture did not produce toxic metabolites in concentrations sufficient to affect rats or sheep or mammalian cells in tissue culture, nor did it produce ergot alkaloids, paxilline or zearalenone in amounts detectable by ELISA. It did produce diffusable compound(s) inhibitory to a range of Gram-positive and -negative bacteria but not to the mould species tested.
