Ochratoxin A production by strains of Aspergillus niger var. niger.

Departamento de Patología y Producción Animales (Microbiología), Facultad de Veterinaria, Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona, Bellaterra, Spain.

In a survey of the occurrence of ochratoxin A (OA)-positive strains isolated from feedstuffs, two of the 19 isolates of Aspergillus niger var. niger that were studied produced OA in 2% yeast extract-15% sucrose broth and in corn cultures. This is the first report of production of OA by this species.
