Mycotoxins are produced by fungi and are known to be toxic to humans and animals.
Common mycotoxins include aflatoxins, ochratoxins, zearalenone, patulin, sterigmatocystin …

One of the exciting movements in microbial sciences has been a refocusing and
revitalization of efforts to mine the fungal secondary metabolome. The magnitude of …

This review aims to update the main aspects of aflatoxin production, occurrence and
incidence in selected countries, and associated aflatoxicosis outbreaks. Means to reduce …

The aflatoxin producing fungi, Aspergillus spp., are widely spread in nature and have
severely contaminated food supplies of humans and animals, resulting in health hazards …

The study of fungal species evolved radically with the development of molecular techniques
and produced new evidence to understand specific fungal mechanisms such as the …

Aspergillus species are the paramount ubiquitous fungi that contaminate various food
substrates and produce biochemicals known as mycotoxins. Aflatoxins (AFTs), ochratoxin A …

In the early 1960s the discovery of aflatoxins began when a total of 100,000 turkey poults
died by hitherto unknown turkey “X” disease in England. The disease was associated with …

Oxidative cyclizations are important transformations that occur widely during natural product
biosynthesis. The transformations from acyclic precursors to cyclized products can afford …

Monascus azaphilone pigments (MonAzPs) are very widely used as food colorants, but their
biosynthetic pathway has remained poorly characterized for more than half a century. In this …

Much of natural product chemistry concerns a group of compounds known as secondary
metabolites. These low-molecular-weight metabolites often have potent physiological …
