Abstract: In this study, a strain named H1 capable of producing citrinin (CIT) was isolated from rotten citrus and identified as Penicillium expansum. The effects of different culture media, temperature, pH value, culture time and dissolved oxygen on the mycelial growth and CIT production of strain H1 were explored. The results showed that when P. expansum H1 was cultured in yeast extract-sucrose liquid medium with an initial pH of 3 at 25 ℃ with shaking for 2 weeks, the CIT content reached the highest value of 12.8 μg/g, and the CIT production was inhibited at pH 11.

Key words: Penicillium expansum, citrinin, mycelial biomass, CIT production
