A systems approach to model the relationship between aflatoxin gene cluster expression, environmental factors, growth and toxin production by Aspergillus flavus. [PDF]
, 2011 A microarray analysis was used to examine the effect of combinations of water activity (a(w), 0.995-0.90) and temperature (20-42°C) on the activation of aflatoxin biosynthetic genes (30 genes) in Aspergillus flavus grown on a conducive YES (20 g yeast ...

Quantitation of aflatoxin B1 and aflatoxin B1 antibody by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent microassay [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1980 A specific microtest plate enzyme immunoassay has been developed for the rapid quantitation of aflatoxin B1 at levels as low as 25 pg per assay. Multiple-site injection of rabbits with an aflatoxin B1 carboxymethyloxime-bovine serum albumin conjugate was used for the production of hyperimmune sera. Dilutions of the purified antibody were air dried onto

Bioimprinting as a tool for the detection of aflatoxin B1 using a capacitive biosensor
Biotechnology Reports, 2016 A strategy for the detection of aflatoxin B1 using a capacitive biosensor has been studied. The use of proteins for the generation of sites with high specificity against aflatoxin B1 are produced via bioimprinting.

Adsorption of aflatoxin B1 on montmorillonite
Poultry Science, 2005 The isothermal adsorption and the adsorptive mechanism of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) on calcium montmorillonite (Mont) were studied in vitro trials. The maximum amounts of AFB1 on Mont in aqueous solution at 2 and pH 8 were 613.5 and 628.9 microg of AFB1 /g of Mont, respectively.
