Significant mycotoxigenic fungi in agricultural production

Mikotoksini su otrovni sekundarni metaboliti gljiva. Njihova biosinteza ovisit će ne samo o vrsti i soju gljive već i o abiotskim uvjetima okoliša. Ingestija mikotoksina uzrokuje niz vrlo teških oboljenja koje mogu završiti i letalnim ishodom. U svakodnevnoj poljoprivrednoj praksi stoga je neophodna antifungalna i antimikotksikogena prevencija i dekontaminacija.Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites of fungi. Their biosynthesis depends not only on the type and strain of fungus, but also on abiotic environmental conditions. Ingestion of mycotoxins causes a number of very serious diseases that can result in lethal outcomes. Antifungal and antimycotoxigenic prevention and decontamination is therefore essential in everyday agricultural practices
