In vivo characterization of dimethylsulfoniopropionate lyase in the fungus Fusarium lateritium
Article Abstract:
A study has been conducted to determine dimethylsulfoniopropionate (DMSP) activity in the fungus Fusarium lateritium by isolating it from seawater and salt marsh. Results revealed that DMSP was taken up more rapidly by F. lateritium than it was utilized leading to its intracellular accumulation. Furthermore, DMSP lyase activity increased with time and then dropped quickly which could be averted by spiking the culture with fresh DMSP or choline.

Natural occurrence of Fusarium mycotoxins in field samples from the 1992 Wisconsin corn crop
Article Abstract:
Several immunochemical methods were used in detecting the presence of Fusarium mycotoxins in Wisconsin corn crop harvested between Nov. 1992 and Jan. 1993. Various toxic Fusarium spp. were found in the corn samples, including F. sporotrichioides, F. poae and F. graminearum. The results also showed that T-2 toxin, HT-2 toxin, diacetoxyscirpenol, neosolaniol and T-2 tetraol are common in the samples.

Differentiation of Fusarium subglutinans f. sp. pini by histone gene sequence data
Article Abstract:
Researchers describe a technique to distinguish Fusarium subglutinans f. sp. pini from other similar species in the Gibberella fujikuroi complex. It uses the PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique to analyze the introns and exons from the histone H3 gene.
