Abstract
Phosphine is a food fumigant, used until now as an insecticide and rodenticide. The present work researches the action of phosphine treatment on growth and sterigmatocystin production of several fungal strains. Production of sterigmatocystin decreased by a ratio of 100 to 500 or was abolished.
