Production of major mycotoxins by fusarium species isolated from wild grasses in Peninsular Malaysia

The Fusarium species are notoriously known for causing various plants and animal diseases and producing a number of harmful mycotoxins. The mycotoxins production by species recovered from non-agricultural hosts such as wild grasses have hitherto never been given attention. We examined 30 strains rep...
