  • Title: Alternaria alternata prevalence in cereal grains and soybean seeds from Entre Ríos, Argentina.
    Author: Broggi LE, González HH, Resnik SL, Pacin A.
    Journal: Rev Iberoam Micol; 2007 Mar; 24(1):47-51. PubMed ID: 17592893.
    Abstract:
    A mycological survey was carried out at Entre Ríos province, Argentina, on sorghum grain, maize, rice, soybean seeds and on freshly harvested and stored wheat. The isolation frequencies and relative densities of species belonging to genera Alternaria, Aspergillus, Fusarium, Penicillium and other fungi were calculated. Alternaria alternata was the major fungal species isolated from sorghum, rice, soybean seeds and on freshly harvested wheat, and a low incidence of Fusarium species was observed on the same substrates. In maize the major fungal species isolated was Fusarium verticillioides. The high incidence levels of A. alternata observed,suggest that it may be necessary to determine, among other mycotoxins, if Alternaria toxins occur in these commodities.
