Microbiological deterioration of stored grains. Soybeans stored with moisture contents of 12.5 to 14.0% and at 25°C were invaded by storage fungi within 6 months to a year, and the increases in fat acidity values were approx¬imately proportional to the degree of invasion by fungi.nToxicity to animals of grains and feeds invaded by fungi.- Approximately 400 isolates of 10 genera of filamentous fungi and yeasts, from grain and from feed on farms where illness or death not attributable to known causes had occurred in flocks or herds of domestic animals, were grown in autoclaved moist corn and fed to rats and to swine.
