Fusarium Moniliforme

Fusarium verticillioides is the most commonly reported fungal species infecting maize (Zea mays). Fusarium verticillioides is the accepted name of the species, which was also known as Fusarium moniliforme. The species has also been described as mating population of the Fusarium fujikuroi species complex (formally known as Gibberella fujikuroi species complex). verticllioides produces the mutagenic chemical compound fusarin C. verticillioides produces a group of disease-causing mycotoxins—fumonisins—on infected kernels. usarium moniliforme has been reported as an agent of cutaneous disease in man as a new agent of mycetoma in Europe as an agent of keratitis septic arthritisand disseminated infections in a patients with malignant lymphoma and acute lymphocytic leukemia patient. Deep mycoses were reported under the name F. verticilloides. It has also been cited as an agent of mycotic pneumonia in an alligator. Fusarium moniliforme differs from the two most common species, solani and oxysporum, by forming microconidia in chains, and from proliferatum, by lacking polyphialides (phialides with more than one opening not delimited by a septum).
