Effect of pH, water activity and temperature on the growth and accumulation of ochratoxin A produced by three strains of <I>Aspergillus carbonarius</I> isolated from Italian vineyards
Aspergillus carbonarius colonizes grapes and its derived products and produces ochratoxin A (OTA). In previous studies we screened 107 strains of A. carbonarius isolated from grapes for production of OTA, and we selected three high OTA-producing strains for this study (AC05, AC06, and AC07).
