Evaluation of aflatoxin content in “Cheka” (traditional beverage in South-Western Ethiopia) and its major ingredient (maize)

Discover Food
Background Aflatoxin is a toxic cancerous fungal secondary metabolite produced by Aspergillus species. Consumption of aflatoxin-contaminated cereals and their products can cause several health-related effects including acute and chronic aflatoxicosis ...

Inhibitory Effects of Respiration Inhibitors on Aflatoxin Production

Toxins, 2014
Aflatoxin production inhibitors, which do not inhibit the growth of aflatoxigenic fungi, may be used to control aflatoxin without incurring a rapid spread of resistant strains.

Genome-scale mutational signatures of aflatoxin in cells, mice, and human tumors

bioRxiv, 2017
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a mutagen and IARC Group 1 carcinogen that causes hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Here we present the first whole genome data on the mutational signatures of AFB1 exposure from a total of > 40,000 mutations in four experimental ...

Effective chemical management of Aspergillus flavus and aflatoxin contamination in pistachio nuts and orchards

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The study demonstrates the effectiveness of various chemical fungicides in controlling Aspergillus flavus growth and aflatoxin production in pistachios, with cyprodinil, fludioxonil, pyrimethanil and flusilazole showing the most promising results. Abstract BACKGROUND Significant presence of aflatoxins (AFs) in pistachio nuts has been reported during ...

Intraspecific aflatoxin inhibition in Aspergillus flavus is thigmoregulated, independent of vegetative compatibility group and is strain dependent. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Biological control of preharvest aflatoxin contamination by atoxigenic stains of Aspergillus flavus has been demonstrated in several crops. The assumption is that some form of competition suppresses the fungus's ability to infect or produce aflatoxin ...

Aflatoxin-free transgenic maize using host-induced gene silencing

Science Advances, 2017
Suppression of an Aspergillus biosynthetic enzyme effectively alleviates aflatoxin production in transgenic maize kernels. Aflatoxins, toxic secondary metabolites produced by some Aspergillus species, are a universal agricultural economic problem and a ...
