This review presents an update on the current knowledge of the secondary metabolite
potential of the major fungal species used in industrial biotechnology, ie, Aspergillus niger …

Aspergillus flavus is the main producer of carcinogenic aflatoxins in agricultural commodities
such as maize. This fungus occurs naturally on crops, and produces aflatoxins when …

Malate is regarded as one of the key building block chemicals which can potentially be
produced from biomass at a large scale. Although glucose has been extensively studied as …

Aflatoxins are carcinogenic metabolites produced primarily by fungi within Aspergillus
section Flavi. These fungi infect a wide range of crops in warm regions. Molecular …

Peanuts are widely consumed as the main ingredient in many local dishes in Malaysia.
However, the tropical climate in Malaysia (high temperature and humidity) favours the …

Aspergillus flavus has long been considered to be an asexual species. Although a sexual
stage was recently reported for this species from in vitro studies, the amount of …

Aspergillus flavus is a saprophytic fungus that infects corn, peanuts, tree nuts and other
agriculturally important crops. Once the crop is infected the fungus has the potential to …

Fungi exhibit some of the greatest reproductive diversity across Eukaryotes. In addition to
sexual and asexual reproduction, fungi engage in parasexual (mitotic recombinatorial) …

To identify predominant isolates for potential use as biocontrol agents, Aspergillus flavus
isolates collected from soils of almond, pistachio and fig orchard in the Central Valley of …

Biotechnologists are interested in thermo tolerant fungi to manufacture enzymes active and
stable at high temperatures, because they provide improved catalytic efficiency, strengthen …
