Abstract A new mycotoxin (AcT1) was obtained from the mycelium of Aspergillus candidus Link isolated from rough rice stored under tropical conditions. AcT1 with the mol-formula C28H40O showed bright greenish blue fluorescence under uv (254 nm). The spectral and other characteristics indicated that the compound was a new one. The LD50 of the toxin on white rats was found to be 4.5 mg/Kg when injected intraperitoneally.
