Aflatoxins are highly toxic carcinogens produced by several species in Aspergillus section
Flavi. Strains of A. flavus that do not produce aflatoxins, called atoxigenic strains, have been …

Filamentous fungi represent a rich source of extrolites, including secondary metabolites
(SMs) comprising a great variety of astonishing structures and interesting bioactivities. State …

Ustilaginoidins, toxic to plants, animals and human, are one of major types of mycotoxins
produced by Ustilaginoidea virens. In this study, a gene cluster containing the polyketide …

As the most carcinogenic, toxic, and economically costly mycotoxins, aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is
primarily biosynthesized by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. Aflatoxin …

Several excellent books have been published that address one or more aspects of the
diverse field of industrial mycology, but none of them cover the entire process of fungal …

This study was conducted to assess major Aspergillus species and aflatoxins associated
with groundnut seeds and cake in Eastern Ethiopia and evaluate growers' management …

Expression of the polyketide synthase (pks) gene which is involved in ochratoxin A (OTA)
biosynthesis in Aspergillus ochraceus is linked to production of the mycotoxin, with high …

Most aspergilli that produce aflatoxin are members of Aspergillus section Flavi, however
isolates of several Aspergillus species not closely related to section Flavi also have been …

The carcinogen aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) produced by Aspergillus flavus is a major food safety
concern in crops. However, information on AFB1 occurrence in soil and crop residue is …

Recent comparisons of the increasing number of genome sequences have revealed that
variation in gene content is considerably more prevalent than previously thought. This …
