Abstract
Aspergillus niger is one of the most important fungi for industrial production of organic compounds. Recently, it has been reported that A. niger produces a typical Fusarium mycotoxin, fumonisin B2. However, currently there has been no report on the production of fumonisin B2 by A. niger of Japanese origin. In this study, we analyzed the production of fumonisin B2 with seven domestic A. niger strains. These strains were cultivated on agar media, harvested, and analyzed for fumonisins using the AOAC995.15 method with some modifications. One strain was found to produce fumonisin B2 in a media-dependent manner.
