The structure of vomitoxin isolated from Fusarium-contaminated corn was proved to be 3,7,15-trihydroxy-12,13-epoxytrichothec-9-en-8-one. This same toxin is responsible for the "refusal phenomenon" exhibited by swine fed contaminated corn. In addition, two new substances believed to be trichothecenes were isolated from naturally infected corn. Vomitoxin was also isolated from rice inoculated with F. graminearium NRRL 5883.
