Abstract

Secondary metabolites, toxic to macro-organisms and micro-organisms, are produced by certain molds and some plant parasitic living fungi. A risk is given for man worldwide by ingestion or apparently also be other routes always undetected. In vivo-effects of the various mycotoxins are different, but mainly the liver is affected, expecially by the intake of smaller amounts of these poisons. Accordingly cirrhosis of the liver or primary liver carcinoma are expected in man as well as in animals and were already proved outside of Europe.
