Production of [14C]rubratoxin B. 1979

R M Davis, and J L Richard

[14C]rubratoxin B was produced by culturing Penicillium rubrum Stoll for 13 days at 22 degrees C in medium containing [14C]glucose. The most efficient incorporation of glucose into rubratoxin occurred when Raulin-Thom medium enriched with 2.5% malt extract was supplemented with 2.5% added glucose. The presence of 1.0 mCi of radioactivity in 50 ml of medium with 2.5% added glucose resulted in the production of 38 mg of labeled, chromatographically pure rubratoxin with a specific activity of 0.47 Ci/mole.

D010407	Penicillium	A mitosporic Trichocomaceae fungal genus that develops fruiting organs resembling a broom. When identified, teleomorphs include EUPENICILLIUM and TALAROMYCES. Several species (but especially PENICILLIUM CHRYSOGENUM) are sources of the antibiotic penicillin.	Penicilliums
D003470	Culture Media	Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN.	Media, Culture
