Fifteen Fusarium species were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography for the production of six mycotoxins in corn grits cultures. Production of mycotoxins ranged from 66 to 2,500 µg/kg for fumonisin B1, 0.6 to 1,500 µg/g for moniliformin, 2.2 to 720 µg/g for beauvericin, and 12 to 130 µg/g for fusaproliferin. Fumonisin B2 (360 µg/kg) was produced by two species, fumonisin B3 was not detected in any of the 15 species examined, and Fusarium bulbicola produced none of the six mycotoxins that we analyzed.
