Studies on the Eliminasion of Fungi by Shaving the Surface of Degenerated Rice Grains Infested with Penicillium citrinum THOM

Creators Yamagata Makoto

Penicillium citrinum THOM has been noticed for the production of poisonous substances such as Citrinin. It is reported that by about 10% pounding of degenerated rice grains infested with Penicillium citrinum THOM the pathogene is to be eliminated. In order to study the elimination by rice-pounding, mycological examination was made on the rice grains shaved in various percentages. Penicillium citrinum THOM was found not to be eliminated by less than 60% shaving of the grain surface, and other Penicillium species and other fungi were shown to exist even by 80% shaving. From these facts, 10% pounding seems to be ineffective for the treatment of the degenerated rice grains infested with Penicillium citrinum THOM.
