Fumonisin

The fumonisins are a group of mycotoxins derived from Fusarium and their Liseola section.

[2] More specifically, it can refer to: As the fumonisins appear to be non-genotoxic the possibility that they belong to another class of non-genotoxic carcinogens, the peroxisome proliferators, was investigated[3] Genetic engineering is reported as a promising means of detoxifying mycotoxins.

[4] At least 15 different fumonisins have so far been reported and other minor metabolites have been identified, although most of them have not been shown to occur naturally.

[5] In 2015, a unique class of non-aminated fumonisins[6] was reported on grapes infected with Aspergillus welwitschiae, although their toxicities have not yet been established.

The trichothecene (T-2) mycotoxins are a group of over 40 compounds produced by fungi of the genus Fusarium, a common grain mold.
