Controlling aflatoxin contamination and propagation of Aspergillus flavus by a soy-fermenting Aspergillus oryzae strain

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2018
Aflatoxins (AFs) are a group of carcinogenic and immunosuppressive mycotoxins that threaten global food safety. Globally, over 4.5 billion people are exposed to unmonitored levels of AFs.

The Amino Acid Metabolism of Aspergillus flavus [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of General Microbiology, 1956
SUMMARY: A complete quantitative amino acid analysis of the free amino acid fraction and the mycelial residue fraction of the mould Aspergillus flavus during different stages of growth has been made by the circular paper chromatographic technique. A qualitative analysis of the amino acid composition of the culture fluid has also been accomplished.

Stress in dipteran insects mass‐reared for sterile insect technique applications

open access: yesInsect Science, EarlyView.
The connections between biotic and abiotic stress affecting mass‐reared dipteran insects and the associated stress and immunological responses. Numbers indicate the order in which the topics are discussed in this review. Abstract Stress may be viewed as the disturbance of homeostasis of an organism.

Host‐induced gene silencing of the amino acid biosynthesis gene acetolactate synthase of Phytophthora infestans caused strong enhanced late blight resistance of potato in the field

open access: yesPlant Biotechnology Journal, EarlyView.
Summary Late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans is the most serious disease of potatoes. Here we present the effectiveness of the host‐induced gene silencing (HIGS) technology against an amino acid biosynthesis gene of the pathogen to increase the resistance against the plant‐infecting oomycete in the field.

The Antioxidant Gallic Acid Inhibits Aflatoxin Formation in Aspergillus flavus by Modulating Transcription Factors FarB and CreA

open access: yesToxins, 2018
Aflatoxin biosynthesis is correlated with oxidative stress and is proposed to function as a secondary defense mechanism to redundant intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Occurrence of toxigenic fungi in maize and maize-gluten meal from Pakistan

open access: yesPhytopathologia Mediterranea, 2012
The present study was designed to isolate and identify toxigenic mycoflora of maize and maize-gluten meal. A total of 82 samples of maize and 8 samples of maize-gluten meal were collected from Faisalabad district of Pakistan over a period of two years ...

Aspergillus After Lung Transplantation: Prophylaxis, Risk Factors, and the Impact on Chronic Lung Allograft Dysfunction

open access: yesTransplant Infectious Disease, EarlyView.
Out of 274 lung transplant (LTx) patients, 89 (32%) developed invasive aspergillosis IA. Factors associated with IA were mycophenolate mofetil use, airway stenosis, Aspergillus cultured pre‐LTx, chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD), and acute rejection. The role of nebulized amphotericin B and statins for prevention of IA remains unclear. ABSTRACT

Inhibitory Effect of Volatiles Emitted From Alcaligenes faecalis N1-4 on Aspergillus flavus and Aflatoxins in Storage

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Controlling aflatoxigenic Aspergillus flavus and aflatoxins (AFs) in grains and food during storage is a great challenge to humans worldwide. Alcaligenes faecalis N1-4 isolated from tea rhizosphere soil can produce abundant antifungal volatiles, and ...
