The nuclear regulator LaeA has been shown to govern production of multiple secondary
metabolites in Aspergillus nidulans and Aspergillus fumigatus. Herein we examine the role …

Aflatoxins are naturally occurring mycotoxins that are produced by many species of
Aspergillus, a fungus, mainly by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. Aflatoxins …

Six previously isolated, nonaflatoxigenic variants of Aspergillus parasiticus, designated sec
mutants, were characterized morphologically by electron microscopy, biochemically by …

Among the over 185 known species within the genus Aspergillus, Aspergillus flavus is the
most economically important because it produces the toxic and carcinogenic aflatoxins. Its …

Since the early 1960s, the fungal pathogen Aspergillus flavus (Link ex Fr.) has been the
focus of intensive research due to the production of carcinogenic and highly toxic secondary …

The influence of varying combinations of water activity (aw) and temperature on growth,
aflatoxin biosynthesis and afl R/afl S expression of Aspergillus parasiticus was analysed in …

Abstract The proteins VeA, VelB and LaeA of Aspergillus nidulans form a heterotrimeric
complex (the velvet complex) in the dark to coordinate sexual development and production …

Aflatoxins are toxic and carcinogenic secondary metabolites produced by the fungi
Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus. Current research is directed at the elimination of these …

A microarray analysis was performed to study the effect of varying combinations of water
activity and temperature on the activation of aflatoxin biosynthesis genes in …

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 …
