Inhibitory Effects of Silver Nanoparticles on Growth and Aflatoxin B1 Production by Aspergillus Parasiticus
Background: Aflatoxins (AFs) are secondary hazardous fungal metabolites that are produced by strains of some Aspergillus species on food and feedstuffs. Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is one of the most important AF with high toxicity. Prevention of AF production and their elimination from food products is a matter of importance for many researchers in the last decades.Nanomaterials applications in medica...
متن کاملEffects of Zinc Chelators on Aflatoxin Production in Aspergillus parasiticus
Zinc concentrations strongly influence aflatoxin accumulation in laboratory media and in food and feed crops. The presence of zinc stimulates aflatoxin production, and the absence of zinc impedes toxin production. Initial studies that suggested a link between zinc and aflatoxin biosynthesis were presented in the 1970s. In the present study, we utilized two zinc chelators, N,N,N',N'-tetrakis (2-...
متن کاملExtracts of Agave americana inhibit aflatoxin production in Aspergillus parasiticus
Toxigenic fungi invade crops prior to harvest as well as during storage and produce harmful, even carcinogenic toxins such as aflatoxins. Since consumers demand safe commodities, and due to enhanced public awareness of the dangers of many synthetic fungicides, the importance of investigating alternative, natural products to control these toxigenic fungi is clear. This study investigated the eff...
متن کاملAflatoxin production in peanut varieties by Aspergillus flavus Link and Aspergillus parasiticus Speare.
Levels of aflatoxin produced in peanuts differed with the genetic variety of plant and with the species and strain of invading fungus. Possibilities for identifying groundnut varieties partially resistant to aflatoxin production are discussed.
متن کاملDioctatin A is a strong inhibitor of aflatoxin production by Aspergillus parasiticus.
Dioctatin A (DotA), a metabolite of Streptomyces, is known to be an inhibitor of human dipeptidyl aminopeptidase II. Here, it was found that DotA strongly inhibited aflatoxin production by Aspergillus parasiticus, with an IC50 value of 4.0 microM. The mycelial growth of the fungus was not affected by the addition of DotA at a concentration of 50 microM, but inhibition of conidiation was observe...
