Viriditoxin Production by Aspergillus viridi-nutans and Related Species

“…Most Aspergillus strains grow best at 25 to 30 C, but some A. fumigatus isolates develop optimally at 37 C and continue to grow at temperatures up to 50 C (4, 6). Fungi in this group are common on moldy grain, and toxigenic strains have been identified as a source of mycotoxin production (1,7).…”
