Abstract
Deoxynivalenol producing isolates of Fusarium Graminearum R 6576 was grown on rice for 25 days at 19,25 and $28^{\circ}C$. Maximum production of deoxynivalenol(DON) by Fusarium graminearum R 6575 occurred at $28^{\circ}C$ and 20 days. Maximum concentration of 940 ppm DON were obtained after 20 days at an initial moisture content of 40%. A DON derivative, 15-acetyl-DON (15-ADON), was also found at concentrations of 150~300ppm after 5~10 days. Crude culture extracts were purified by water-saturated silica gel column chromatography which selectivity extracted DON when methylene chloride was as the mobile phase. Purity of crystallized DON was verified by thin layer and high performance liquid chromatography. Also this method was advantage method or production of DON and require little organic sorbent than the other methods.
