Nivalenol is a potential trichothecene mycotoxin, produced by Fusarium nivale.

Genotoxicity of nivalenol is evaluated by alkaline single-cell gel electrophoresis assay.
Nivalenol is a secondary metabolite produced by Fusarium species, which is a plant pathogenic fungus of wheat and other cereals.

Nivalenol was used as standard to investigate in vitro mycotoxin binding of deoxynivalenol and nivalenol by adsorbent materials (activated carbon).
