Faculty of Technology, Novi Sad, Yugoslavia.

Propionate at concentrations up to 0.05% decreased at 25 degrees C the growth and sporulation of Penicillium aurantiogriseum. The standard size of conidiogenous structures (metulae, phialids) and conidia was diminished. The effect was more pronounced at a higher temperature (30 degrees C). Inhibition of ochratoxin production by propionate was also demonstrated.

D009793	Ochratoxins	Isocoumarins found in ASPERGILLUS OCHRACEUS and other FUNGI. Ochratoxin contaminated FOOD has been responsible for cases of FOODBORNE DISEASES.	Ochratoxin
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
