The Ecology of Fungi: Producers of Mycotoxins
(1985)Fungi are omnipresent organisms. There is no media where they are not present. Fungi have broad adaptive properties and therefore occupy most varied ecological niches which are most frequently inaccessible for other ... -
Interaction of Nutrients and other Factors with Mycotoxins
(1985)Throughout recorded history diseases of man and lower animals have been associated with metabolites of certain molds growing on foodstuffs. However, an understanding of the relationship between the diseases, the molds, the ... -
Morphological Methods in the Study of Mycotoxins
(1985)Morphological methods of research are capable of resolving independent tasks, nevertheless more often than not, they are applied jointly with other (functional) methods. Morphofunctional methods of research allow for a ... -
