Mycotoxicoses are the animal diseases caused by mycotoxins; mycotoxicology is the study ofmycotoxins (84). While all mycotoxinsare of fungal origin, not all toxiccompounds produced by fungi arecalled mycotoxins. The target and the concentration of the metabolite are both important.

Answer 2

Most fungi are aerobic (use oxygen) and are found almost everywhere in extremely small quantities due to the minute size of their spores. They consume organic matterwherever humidity and temperature are sufficient. Where conditions are right, fungi proliferate into colonies and my cot ox in levels become high. The reason for the production of mycotoxins is not yet known; they are not necessary for the growth or the development of the fungi.Because mycotoxins weaken the receiving host, the fungus may use them as a strategy to better the environment for further fungal proliferation. The production of toxins depends on the surrounding intrinsic and extrinsic environments and these substances vary greatly in their toxicity, depending on the organism infected and its susceptibility, metabolism, and defense mechanisms.
