  text: Stachybotrys chartarum is a toxigenic fungus that is frequently isolated from
    damp building materials or improperly stored forage. Macrocyclic trichothecenes
    and in particular satratoxins are the most potent mycotoxins known to be produced
    by this fungus. Exposure of humans or animals to these secondary metabolites can
    be associated with severe health problems. To assess the pathogenic potential
    of S. chartarum isolates, it is essential to cultivate them under conditions that
    reliably promote toxin production. Potato dextrose agar (PDA) was reported to
    be the optimal nutrition medium for satratoxin production. In this study, the
    growth of S. chartarum genotype S strains on PDA from two manufacturers led to
    divergent results, namely, well-grown and sporulating cultures with high satratoxin
    concentrations (20.8 ± 0.4 µg/cm2) versus cultures with sparse sporulation and
    low satratoxin production (0.3 ± 0.1 µg/cm2). This finding is important for any
    attempt to identify toxigenic S. chartarum isolates. Further experiments performed
    with the two media provided strong evidence for a link between satratoxin production
    and sporulation. A comparison of three-point and one-point cultures grown on the
    two types of PDA, furthermore, demonstrated an inter-colony communication that
    influences both sporulation and mycotoxin production of S. chartarum genotype
    S strains.

  text: The genus Stachybotrys produces a broad diversity of secondary metabolites,
    including macrocyclic trichothecenes, atranones, and phenylspirodrimanes. Although
    the class of the phenylspirodrimanes is the major one and consists of a multitude
    of metabolites bearing various structural modifications, few investigations have
    been carried out. Thus, the presented study deals with the quantitative determination
    of several secondary metabolites produced by distinct Stachybotrys species for
    comparison of their metabolite profiles. For that purpose, 15 of the primarily
    produced secondary metabolites were isolated from fungal cultures and structurally
    characterized in order to be used as analytical standards for the development
    of an LC-MS/MS multimethod. The developed method was applied to the analysis of
    micro-scale extracts from 5 different Stachybotrys strains, which were cultured
    on different media. In that process, spontaneous dialdehyde/lactone isomerization
    was observed for some of the isolated secondary metabolites, and novel stachybotrychromenes
    were quantitatively investigated for the first time. The metabolite profiles of
    Stachybotrys species are considerably influenced by time of growth and substrate
    availability, as well as the individual biosynthetic potential of the respective
    species. Regarding the reported adverse effects associated with Stachybotrys growth
    in building environments, combinatory effects of the investigated secondary metabolites
    should be addressed and the role of the phenylspirodrimanes re-evaluated in future
    research.
