Modelling the relationship between environmental factors, transcriptional genes and deoxynivalenol mycotoxin production by strains of two Fusarium species [PDF]
The effect of changes in temperature/water activity (a(w)) on growth, deoxynivalenol (DON) production and trichothecene gene cluster expression (18 genes) for strains of Fusarium culmorum and Fusarium graminearum was studied.

The production of aflatoxin B1 or G1 by Aspergillus parasiticus at various combinations of temperature and water activity is related to the ratio of aflS to aflR expression [PDF]
The influence of varying combinations of wateractivity (aw) and temperature on growth, aflatoxin biosynthesisand aflR/aflS expression of Aspergillus parasiticuswas analysed in the ranges 17-42°C and 0.90-0.99 aw.Optimum growth was at 35°C.

Mycotoxin mechanisms of action and health effects : in vitro or in vivo tests, that's the question
Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites of fungi and represent significant food safety challenges. Despite efforts to control fungal contamination, mycotoxins can contaminate food and feed materials, enter the body via ingestion of contaminated foods,

Light regulation of mycotoxin biosynthesis: new perspectives for food safety
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites produced by toxigenic fungi contaminating foods and feeds in pre-, postharvest and processing, and represent a great concern worldwide, both for the economic implications and for the health of the consumers.

Multi-mycotoxin exposure data are missing to guide risk assessment and legislation in Ethiopia. This study therefore aimed to determine mycotoxin contamination levels in maize samples from 176 randomly selected household storages in three agro ecological

Developments in mycotoxin analysis: an update for 2014-2015
This review summarises developments in the determination of mycotoxins over a period between mid-2014 and mid-2015. In tradition with previous articles of this series, analytical methods to determine aflatoxins, Alternaria toxins, ergot alkaloids ...
