| Abstract: | Summary The aim of the study was to determine whether isolates ofFusarium oxysporum Schlecht. produce fusaric acid in culture and whether mycelial growth can be used as a measurement of fusaric acid production.
Three isolates produced significant levels of fusaric acid in culture filtrate, the maximum concentration being reached after
18 days, whereafter it remained constant. Mycelial growth could not be used to measure or estimate the production of fusaric
acid. Growth curves from specific isolates could be used to determine the concentration of fusaric acid in culture filtrate
after specific lengths of time. |
