RESUMO
Of 199 fungal cultures isolated from some of the common cereals collected from different parts of Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh, 70 produced toxic metabolites. Of the 70 fungi isolated, 59 produced toxins which caused visible lesions in livers, kidneys, and spleens but did not cause mortality. Toxicity, graded in terms of the mortality rate and the extent of lesions in livers, kidneys, and spleens, was found to be highest in various species of Aspergillus (40%), followed by Chaetomium spp. (31%).
