Abstract
In a screening test sevenFusarium strains out of 17 proved to be toxic towards brine shrimp. Among these, fourF. sambucinum strains as well as threeF. venenatum isolates caused toxic effects. The chemical screening by TLC analysis revealed the presence of sambucinol and diacetoxyscirpenol in the extracts of the toxic isolates ofF. venenatum 64537.
