Aims: This study investigated the in vitro effects of water activity (a(w); 0.85-0.987) and temperature (10-40degreesC) on growth and ochratoxin A (OTA) production by two strains of Aspergillus carbonarius isolated from wine grapes from three different European countries and Israel on a synthetic grape juice medium representative of mid-veraison (total of eight strains).Methods and Results: The synthetic grape juice medium was modified with glycerol or glucose and experiments carried out for up to 56 days for growth and 25 days for OTA production. The lag phase prior to growth, growth rates and ochratoxin production were quantified. Statistical comparisons were made of all factors and multiple regression analysis used to obtain surface response curves of a(w) x temperature for the eight strains and optimum growth and OTA production by A. carbonarius. The lag phase increased from 20 days at marginal temperatures and water availabilities. Generally, most A. carbonarius strains grew optimally at 30-35degreesC, regardless of solute used to modify a(w), with no growth at
