Abstract:

A study of the kinetics of fusarin C production by Fusarium moniliforme ATCC 38932, a known producer of fusarin C, was carried out. This strain was subcultured on an EG medium for an adequate sporulation, and a 4% inoculum was transferred to the 10% ICI N medium. The conditions for the production of fusarin C in this synthetic culture medium were optimized. The time-course study of fusarin C performed over 26 days with this strain showed three different developmental stages in which a maximum production of fusarin C was reached on the 8th day of incubation; thereafter this strain ceased growing exponentially and exhibited a sharp decrease of fusarin C from that moment on.
