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 …

The three major groups of fungi associated with mycotoxin contamination are the Aspergillus
species, the Fusarium species, and the Penicillium species. There is a large body of …

Aflatoxins, highly toxic and carcinogenic compounds that frequently contaminate foods and
feeds, are produced by several genera in the genus Aspergillus. Aspergillus flavus, the most …

Aspergillus flavus is an opportunistic pathogen of crops. It is important because it produces
aflatoxin as a secondary metabolite in the seeds of a number of crops both before and after …

The contamination of corn (maize) by fungi and the accumulation of mycotoxins are a
serious agricultural problem for human and animal health. One particular devastating group …

Aspergillus flavus and the closely related subspecies parasiticus have long been
recognized as major contaminants of organic and nonorganic items. A. flavus, a common …

Aspergillus parasiticus is one primary source of aflatoxin contamination in economically
important crops. To prevent the potential health and economic impacts of aflatoxin …

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

Distribution of trace element levels in corn germ fractions from kernels naturally infected with
Aspergillus flavus and from kernels free of the fungus demonstrated an association between …

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