Ochratoxin A Control in Meat Derivatives: Intraspecific Biocompetition between Penicillium nordicum Strains

Figure 1

Screening of OTA− strains efficacy in containing toxin accumulation by OTA+ strains. Toxigenic strains (2820, 231107, 17707, B4798, and 5710) were coinoculated in synthetic medium with atoxigenic strains (5795, 15304, 20399, 241109, and B1-2280); cultures of OTA+ strains grown singularly represented the toxin accumulation control (CNT). Data are the mean values obtained from three independent experiments. Error bars represent standard deviations.
