Abstract excerpt
Most naturally occurring strains of the fungus Gibberella fujikuroi mating population A produce high levels of the mycotoxin fumonisin B1 (FB1), which is oxygenated at both carbons C-5 and C-10. Some strains, however, produce only FB2 or FB3, suggesting that they lack the ability to hydroxylate p...
