Degradation of Aflatoxin by Aspergillus flavus
Microbiology, 1987 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 ...
