Mycotoxins are potentially hazardous secondary metabolites produced by filamentous fungi
(molds). These small molecular weight compounds (often less than 1 000 Da) are found in …

Mycotoxins are well established toxic metabolic entities produced when fungi invade
agricultural/farm produce, and this happens especially when the conditions are favourable …

Aflatoxins are mainly produced by certain strains of Aspergillus flavus, which are found in
diverse agricultural crops. In many lower-income countries, aflatoxins pose serious public …

In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in investigating the carcinogenicity of
mycotoxins in humans. This systematic review aims to provide an overview of data linking …

Fungi are ubiquitous and formation of mycotoxins can occur in all agricultural commodities
under appropriate field or storage conditions throughout the animal feed supply chain. In this …

Aflatoxins are well recognized as a cause of liver cancer, but they have additional important
toxic effects. In farm and laboratory animals, chronic exposure to aflatoxins compromises …

Much of natural product chemistry concerns a group of compounds known as secondary
metabolites. These low-molecular-weight metabolites often have potent physiological …

Since their discovery 50 years ago, the aflatoxins have become recognized as ubiquitous
contaminants of the human food supply throughout the economically developing world. The …

Global trade of agricultural commodities (eg, animal feed) requires monitoring for fungal
toxins. Also, little is known about masked and emerging toxins and metabolites. 1926 …

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 …
