“…Chaetomium globosum produces chaetoglobosins and Penicillium chrysogenum produces PR toxin, roquefortines, and penicillins, whereas S. chartarum is known for its production of macrocyclic trichothecenes and atranones (Nielsen et al, 1998;Samson et al, 2010). Some of these metabolites (roquefortine A, chaetoglobosin A, and roridin E (a macrocyclic trichothecene) (Polizzi et al, 2009)) as well as fungal cell wall components (b-glucans (Rand and Miller, 2011)) have been detected in indoor air, and fungal growth in buildings is therefore problematic, as some of these compounds may have a negative impact on the health and well-being of the occupants (Carey et al, 2012;Mussalo-Rauhamaa et al, 2010;Nikulin et al, 1997;Rosenblum Lichtenstein et al, 2015); especially, S. chartarum is of concern, because it is also able to produce hemolytical proteins (Nayak et al, 2013) and macrocyclic trichothecenes that have previously been associated with a number of animal and human health problems, for example, leukopenia in horses, sheep, and rabbits (Drobotko, 1944;Forgacs et al, 1958;Harrach et al, 1983;Jarvis et al, 1986) and pulmonary hemorrhage and hemosiderosis in infants in Cleveland (Etzel, 2007;Jarvis et al, 1998).…”
