Abstract
Eighty-nine cultures of
Aspergillus
and 54 cultures of
Penicillium
isolated from aged, cured meats were tested for toxicity to chicken embryos. Two of 22 isolates of
A. ruber
, 5 of 28
A. repens
, 2 of 12
A. sydowi
, 1 of 12
A. restrictus
, 2 of 7
A. amstelodami
, 1 of 2
A. chevalieri
, and an
A. fumigatus
isolate exhibited toxicity. Similarly, 2 of 15 isolates of
P. expansum
, 1 of 3
P. notatum
, 1 of 2
P. brevi-compactum
, and 1 of 8
Penicillium
spp. were found to be the most toxic. Among these fungi, the chloroform extract from the growth of an
A. sydowi
isolate showed the greatest toxicity. There was no direct or indirect evidence that aged, cured meats contain toxic metabolites.
