Abstract

ABSTRACT Aspergillus isolates ( n = 103) collected from cancer patients were screened to determine the taxonomic distribution and quantity of gliotoxin production. Gliotoxin was detected in 93% of Aspergillus fumigatus , 75% of A. niger , 25% of A. terreus , and 4% of A. flavus cultures. Gliotoxin concentrations were highest in cultures of A. fumigatus .
