Abstract
Screening for mycotoxin production by Chaetomium spp. and related fungi on rice culture was conducted by a combination of cytotoxicity tests using HeLa cells and thin-layer chromatography. Producers of sterigmatocystin, O-methylsterigmatocystin, chaetochromin, chaetocin, chetomin, cochliodinols, and mollicellin G were found and the taxonomic significance of these findings is discussed.
