Abstract

The effect of concentration and contact time of two mycotoxins, aflatoxin 81 and diacetoxyscirpenol was studied on the larvae of Artemia salina. These organisms are sensitive to sub-microgram quantities of the toxins and can be used as bioassay test organisms. In a study of aflatoxin 81 and diacetoxys-cirpcnol synergism in acute toxicity, the LC50 values of toxin pairs exhibited a distinct increase in toxicity.
