Abstract [eng] The data have revealed that OTA acts as a genotoxic agent in the Jurkat, blood-derived cell line, and evokes retardation of cell proliferation in the hepatic cell line MH-22A. The data of the present investigation showed that the test strain A. amstelodami 724 isolated from wheat grains stored in bins might be evaluated as a toxin producer. Health risks associated with A. amstelodami and its mycotoxins were proved using laboratory mice in vivo and cells in the culture in vitro.
