Strains of Aspergillus flavus often degenerate with serial transfers on culture media,
resulting in morphological changes and loss of aflatoxin production. However, degeneration …

The ability of two non-aflatoxin producing strains of Aspergillus flavus to interfere with
aflatoxin production by a toxigenic A. flavus strain was examined using a replacement series …

The population dynamics of Aspergillus flavus, shaped in part by intraspecific competition,
influence the likelihood and severity of crop aflatoxin contamination. Competition for …

Compositions of Aspergillus flavus populations determine the extent to which crops become
contaminated with aflatoxins. In the current study, influences of diverse crop hosts on …

Trials were performed with three aflatoxin-forming isolates of Aspergillus flavus from formic
acid-treated materials containing aflatoxin, one A. flavus strain isolated from mouldy barley …

Aspergillus flavus is an ascomycete fungus that infects and contaminates corn, peanuts,
cottonseed, and treenuts with acutely toxic and carcinogenic aflatoxins. The ecological …

A total of 169 strains of the Aspergillus reference cultures in the Aspergillus flavus group
maintained in the American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) were studied for their aflatoxin …

Aims: Three conventional methods and a multiplex PCR procedure with a set of four primers
(Quadruplex‐PCR) were used to differentiate between aflatoxin‐producing and non …

Co-cultivation of a strain of Aspergillus parasiticus, capable of making aflatoxins, with
blocked mutant strains, capable of producing none or only a low level of aflatoxins, reduced …

Aflatoxins are carcinogenic mycotoxins formed by a number of fungi in the genus
Aspergillus. The major fungi responsible for aflatoxin formation in crop seeds in the field and …
