Low-dose ethanol increases aflatoxin production due to the adh1-dependent incorporation of ethanol into aflatoxin biosynthesis

open access: yesiScience, 2023
Summary: Aflatoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by some aspergilli, including Aspergillus flavus. Recently, ethanol has attracted attention as an agent for the control of aflatoxin contamination.

Determination of the Aflatoxins [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1964
Top of pageAbstract WE report a new chemical method for determining the aflatoxins and, in particular, aflatoxin B1. Previous methods have depended on the measurement of fluorescence1,2 and are subject to certain errors, for example, quenching by impurities.
