Abstract

Production of alternariol, alternariol mono-methylether and tenuazonic acid byAlternaría alternata was studied in competition withAspergillus parasiticus andBacillus subtilis on irradiated sunflower seeds at 0.90 aw.

In cultures co-inoculated withAlternaría alternata andAspergillus parasiticus alternariol production decreased by 64%. Similar results were observed in cultures co-inoculated withAlternaría alternata andBacillus subtilis.
