Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1977•Am Soc MicrobiolA number of species belonging to the genus Aspergillus were evaluated for their toxicity to
ducklings and the ability to produce sterigmatocystin. Three new species capable of
producing sterigmatocystin were found, namely, Aspergillus aurantio-brunneus, Aspergillus
quadrilineatus, and Aspergillus ustus. All three were toxic to ducklings. The production of
sterigmatocystin by Aspergillus rugulosus was confirmed, and the toxicity of Aspergillus
stellatus and Aspergillus multicolor is described.
