Aflatoxins (AFs) are highly toxic and cancer-causing compounds, predominantly synthesized
by the Aspergillus species. AFs biosynthesis is a lengthy process that requires as minimum …

Aspergillus flavus (A. flavus) is a ubiquitous and opportunistic fungal pathogen that causes
invasive and non-invasive aspergillosis in humans and animals. This fungus is also capable …

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 flavus has received a considerable amount of attention due to its ability to
produce aflatoxin, a secondary metabolite that is both immunosuppressive and carcinogenic …

Aflatoxin contamination of foods and feeds is a world-wide agricultural problem. Aflatoxin
production requires expression of the biosynthetic pathway regulatory gene, aflR, which …

Aflatoxins are polyketide-derived, toxic, and carcinogenic secondary metabolites produced
primarily by two fungal species, Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus, on crops such as corn …

abstract Aflatoxin contamination of food and feed is a major concern due to the carcinogenic
properties of this mycotoxin. Previous studies using classical approaches have identified a …

Research on aflatoxin (AF) production has traditionally focused on defining the AF
biosynthetic pathway with the goal of identifying potential targets for intervention. To …

Aflatoxins are extremely potent carcinogens produced by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus
parasiticus. Cloning of genes in the aflatoxin pathway provides a specific approach to …

The Aspergillus parasiticus aflJ gene, which is located in the aflatoxin biosynthetic gene
cluster and is transcribed divergently from the aflatoxin pathway regulatory gene aflR …
