Abstract
<p> Fungivorous insects are serious hazard as potential contaminants in food. This study investigated fungi and their mycotoxins isolated from fungivorous insects (minute brown scavenger beetles [Latridiidae]) captured in a building located in Chiba, Narashino. We trapped 18 insects (heads) and isolated 780 colonies of fungi from them, which we classified into 3 genera: Penicillium (90.1%), Aspergillus (7.7%), Cladosporium (1.0%) and others (1.2%). The population of these fungi reflected that of fungi isolated from the environment inhabited by the insects. In the genus Aspergillus, sterigmatocystin and cyclopiazonic acid were detected by a simultaneous detection system of liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry when the isolates were cultured in medium. These findings strongly suggest that Latridiidae are not only a physical but also a microbial hazard as a vector for the spread of mycotoxin-producing fungi in factories for food products and the storage of cereals.</p>
