Twenty isolates of Penicillium oxalicum produced secalonic acid as their major secondary metabolite. Fermentation conditions were determined for toxin production in grain and liquid media. The 50% lethal dose value for mice ranged from 26.5 to 51.7 mg/kg dependent on animal strain and sex, males being more susceptible than females. Secalonic acid was nontoxic and nonteratogenic to the chicken embryo and exhibited poor antibiotic properties. Its potential role in mycotoxicoses is discussed.
