The aflatoxin producing fungi, Aspergillus spp., are widely spread in nature and have
severely contaminated food supplies of humans and animals, resulting in health hazards …

Affatoxins, a group of polyketide-derived furanocoumarins (Fig. 1), are the most toxic and
carcinogenic compounds among the known mycotoxins. Among the at least 16 structurally …

Traditional molecular techniques have been used in research in discovering the genes and
enzymes that are involved in aflatoxin formation and genetic regulation. We cloned most, if …

▪ Abstract Aflatoxins are the most thoroughly studied mycotoxins. Elegant early research on
the biosynthetic scheme of the pathway has allowed a molecular characterization of …

Aflatoxins are among the principal mycotoxins that contaminate economically important food
and feed crops. Aflatoxin B1 is the most potent naturally occurring carcinogen known and is …

Aflatoxins belong to a family of decaketides that are produced as secondary metabolites by
Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus. The aflatoxin biosynthetic pathway involves several …
