Water activity and temperature effects on growth of Alternaria arborescens on tomato medium
Alternaria arborescens is the causal agent of tomato stem canker, a disease frequently responsible of substantial economic losses. A. arborescens can produce several mycotoxins, such as alternariol, alternariol monomethyl ether and tenuazonic acid and phytotoxins such as the AAL toxins. The objectiv...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of water activity (aw, 0.950, 0.975, 0.995) and temperature (6, 15, 20, 25 and 30°C) on the germination and radial growth rate of A. arborescens on a synthetic tomato medium.

The highest growth rate was registered at 0.995 aw and 30°C (7.21mm/day) while the lowest occurred at 0.950 aw and 6°C (0.52mm/day), conditions at which the longest lag phase was observed (8days).
