Q. Strain of Fusarium moniliforme?

It was first obtained from a strain of Fusarium moniliforme isolated from southern leaf blight- damaged corn seed as a water soluble toxin. The LD50 for mice has been reported to be 20.9 mg/kg for females and 29.1 mg/kg for males. At toxic doses moniliformin causes rapid death without obvious overt cellular damage, although acute degenerative lesions in the myocardium are reported.
