Mycotoxins of fungal strains from stored herbal plnts and mycotoxin contents of Nigerian crude herbal drugs.

The ability of fungi isolated from stored herbal durg plants to produce mycotoxins in semisynthetic media was studied. Aflatoxins and ochratoxin A were produced by Aspergillus flavus, A. parasiticus and A ochraceus isolates. The time production courses of aflatoxins B1,B2 and ochratoxin A in curde herbal durgperparations showed that the potential exists for the toxigenic strains to produce mycotoxins in greater quantity in herbal drug substrates than in semisynthetic media.
