Cyclopiazonic Acid Biosynthesis of Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus oryzae
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. This review examines what is currently known about the toxicity of CPA to animals and humans, both by itself or in comb...
متن کاملThe phylogenetics of mycotoxin and sclerotium production in Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus oryzae.
Aspergillus flavus is a common filamentous fungus that produces aflatoxins and presents a major threat to agriculture and human health. Previous phylogenetic studies of A. flavus have shown that it consists of two subgroups, called groups I and II, and morphological studies indicated that it consists of two morphological groups based on sclerotium size, called "S" and "L." The industrially impo...
متن کاملCladal relatedness among Aspergillus oryzae isolates and Aspergillus flavus S and L morphotype isolates.
Aspergillus flavus is the main etiological agent for aflatoxin contamination of crops. Its close relative, A. oryzae, does not produce aflatoxins and has been widely used to produce fermented foods. We compared the phylogeny of A. oryzae isolates and L- and S-type sclerotial isolates of A. flavus using single nucleotide polymorphisms in the omtA gene in the aflatoxin biosynthesis gene cluster a...
متن کاملComparison of Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus oryzae by amplified fragment length polymorphism
The aflatoxin producer Aspergillus flavus and the koji mold Aspergillus oryzae are morphologically similar species that belong to the Aspergillus section Flavi. We used amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) to differentiate these two species. In this study, we tested thirteen A. flavus, nine A. oryzae, and three A. flavus var. columnaris strains. DNA fragment profiles amplified with eac...
متن کاملNon-aflatoxigenicity of commercial Aspergillus oryzae strains due to genetic defects compared to aflatoxigenic Aspergillus flavus.
Aspergillus oryzae is generally recognized as safe, but it is closely related to A. flavus in morphology and genetic characteristics. In this study, we tested the aflatoxigenicity and genetic analysis of nine commercial A. oryzae strains that were used in Korean soybean fermented products. Cultural and HPLC analyses showed that none of the commercial strains produced detectable amount of aflato...
