Degradation of Aflatoxin by Aspergillus flavus
Aflatoxin degradative activity was demonstrated in 6- to 12-d-old intact mycelium and cell-free extracts of Aspergillus flavus. The addition of cycloheximide, SKF 525-A or metyrapone to cultures of A. flavus prevented subsequent degradation of the aflatoxins, while in cell-free extracts degradation was inhibited by SKF 525-A, metyrapone and cytochrome ...

Probability models for growth and aflatoxin B1 production as affected by intraspecies variability in Aspergillus flavus [PDF]
The probability of growth and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) production of 20 isolates of Aspergillus flavus were studied using a full factorial design with eight water activity levels (0.84e0.98 aw) and six temperature levels (15e40 C).

Cyclopiazonic Acid Biosynthesis of Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus oryzae [PDF]
Cyclopiazonic acid (CPA) is an indole-tetramic acid neurotoxin produced by some of the same strains of A. flavus that produce aflatoxins and by some Aspergillus oryzae strains. Despite its discovery 40 years ago, few reviews of its toxicity and biosynthesis have been reported.

Integrating gene expression, ecology and mycotoxin production by Fusarium and Aspergillus species in relation to interacting environmental factors [PDF]
Environmental factors, such as water availability (water activity, aw), temperature and their interactions, have a significant impact on the life cycle of mycotoxigenic fungi.

Aspergillus flavus is the second most common etiological agent of invasive aspergillosis (IA) after A. fumigatus. However, most literature describes IA in relation to A. fumigatus or together with other Aspergillus species.

An attempt to model the probability of growth and aflatoxin B1 production of Aspergillus flavus under non-isothermal conditions in pistachio nuts [PDF]
Human exposure to aflatoxins in foods is of great concern. The aim of this work was to use predictive mycology as a strategy to mitigate the aflatoxin burden in pistachio nuts postharvest.
