Preparation of 14C-Labeled Aflatoxin B1
Abstract A successful method to obtain 14C-labeled aflatoxin B1 from Aspergillus parasiticus ATCC 15517 was developed. The nitrogen-free resting culture contained mycelia from a 72 hr primary culture, 0.02M glucose, 0.005M (1 mCi/mmole) acetate-1-14C, salts, and trace metals. It was incubated 12 hr at 30°C.
