Is intraspecific variability of growth and mycotoxin production dependent on environmental conditions? A study with Aspergillus carbonarius isolates

► This work is an interesting research concerning the effect of marginal conditions on intraspecific variability on growth and ochratoxin A production by Aspergillus carbonarius isolates. Besides, we studied ecophysiology of this mould and intraspecific variability among the isolates, with 30 isolates, which is a high number. Many studies exist with a few isolates, but their results might not be representative for the majority of the strains.
