Monitoring Aflatoxin M1 in Milk From Selected Iranian Provinces Using Different Assays: Seasonal Trends and Processing Effects. [PDF]
Rapid measurement of aflatoxin in milk is very important as a common toxin. It affects the acceptance of milk cargo. In this study, 227 milk samples were collected from different provinces of Iran, and their aflatoxin levels were measured using HPLC, ELISA, and immunochromatographic techniques.

Characterisation of a putative dothistromin biosynthetic cluster : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Molecular Biology at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
The fungus Dothistroma pini is a key pathogen in New Zealand (and international) softwood plantations, most notably P. radiata. The mycotoxin dothistromin produced by this saprophytic fungus is believed to play a major role in its pathogenesis ...

Genome sequencing of evolved aspergilli populations reveals robust genomes, transversions in A. flavus, and sexual aberrancy in non-homologous end-joining mutants [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Aspergillus spp. comprises a very diverse group of lower eukaryotes with a high relevance for industrial applications and clinical implications. These multinucleate species are often cultured for many generations in the laboratory, which can

MXenes: Emerging Materials for Environmental Biochemical Sensing Platforms
MXenes (e.g., transition metal carbides, nitrides, and carbonitrides), among those potential candidates for sensing materials, show promising potential with their intrinsically two‐dimensional large interactive area, wide‐range‐tunable material properties, active surface chemistry, and excellent processability for large‐scale fabrication.

INVESTIGATION ON THE AFLATOXIN CONTAMINATION OF THE IRANIAN WHITE CHEESE
In this investigation Aflatoxin contamination of eighty different Iranian white cheeses were determined by T.L.C. method. The result of this study showed that, 97.5% of the samples contained Aflatoxin M1 & M2 which are transferred from milk.

Aflatoxin Accumulation in a Maize Diallel Cross
Aflatoxins, produced by the fungus Aspergillus flavus, occur naturally in maize. Contamination of maize grain with aflatoxin is a major food and feed safety problem and greatly reduces the value of the grain.
