Most of the information available about Aspergillus infections has originated from the study
of A. fumigatus, the most frequent species in the genus. This review aims to compare the …

The readout of the genetic information of eukaryotic organisms is significantly regulated by
modifications of DNA and chromatin proteins. Chromatin alterations induce genome-wide …

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 …

We show here that oxidative stress is involved in both sclerotial differentiation (SD) and
aflatoxin B1 biosynthesis in Aspergillus flavus. Specifically, we observed that (i) oxidative …

Aflatoxins are secondary metabolites produced by soilborne saprophytic fungus Aspergillus
flavus and closely related species that infect several agricultural commodities including …

Abstract Fungi, algae, plants, protozoa, and bacteria are all known to form spores, especially
hardy and ubiquitous propagation structures that are also often the infectious agents of …

It is now well established that biological pollution is a major cause of the degradation of
indoor air quality. It has been shown that microbial communities from the outdoors may …

Mycotoxins threaten global food safety, public health and cause huge socioeconomic
losses. Early detection is an effective preventive strategy, yet efficient biomarkers for early …

The current study was to better understand the potential factors affecting aflatoxin B1 (AFB1)
accumulation varies between different grains. The nutrient composition and contents of …

Aspergillus flavus is the most common causal agent of aflatoxin contamination of food and
feed. However, aflatoxin-producing potential varies widely among A. flavus genotypes with …
