Transcriptional Analysis of Acinetobacter sp. neg1 Capable of Degrading Ochratoxin A
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a nephrotoxic and potentially carcinogenic mycotoxin produced by several species of Aspergillus and Penicillium, contaminating grapes, wine and a variety of food products.

ABSTRACT Mycotoxins, originating from contaminated raw materials or suboptimal feed storage, are a growing concern in tropical aquaculture. Common fungi such as Aspergillus spp. and Fusarium spp. produce mycotoxins including aflatoxin, fumonisin, deoxynivalenol and zearalenone. High doses or prolonged exposure (weeks) to low doses of these mycotoxins (<

Control of Ochratoxin A Production in Grapes [PDF]
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a mycotoxin commonly present in cereals, grapes, coffee, spices, and cocoa. Even though the main objective of the food and feed chain processors and distributors is to avoid the extended contamination of plant-derived foods and animal feeds with mycotoxins, until now, complete OTA removal from foods and feedstuffs is not feasible.

Quantitative estimation of sampling uncertainties for mycotoxins in cereal shipments [PDF]
Many countries receive shipments of bulk cereals from primary producers. There is a volume of work that is ongoing that seeks to arrive at appropriate standards for the quality of the shipments and the means to assess the shipments as they are out-loaded.

Mycotoxins are microbial agents which cause food or feed-borne intoxications. Mycotoxins are undesirable compounds often found in cereal grains and forages. Ochratoxin A (OTA) is mycotoxin creates by more than a few type of Aspergillus in addition to Penicillium and can cause benign and/or malignant tumors. Due to that, this study was planned to induce
