✦ Synopsis

The predominant fungi present in samples of reject and retail red kidney beans were Aspergillus glaucus, Penicillium spp. and Alternaria spp. Together with A. ochraceus, A. flavus, Fusarium spp., and Trichoderma, these isolates from the reject beans were screened for numerous mycotoxins by TLC. The most consistently produced mycotoxins were penicillic acid (from A. ochraceus and Penicillium spp.) and Alternaria toxins (tenuazonic acid and alternariol). A. glaucus strains were tested for cytotoxicity in three tissue culture cell lines with positive results.

## Abstract A survey of the mycoflora of poultry feeds and feed ingredients revealed a wide range of fungal genera and species, many of which are reported to be mycotoxigenic. Subculturing of randomly selected isolates from three of the most commonly occurring species confirmed their mycotoxin‐prod
