Mycotoxin producers in the Aspergillus genus: an update
نویسندگان
چکیده
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites of fungi. Species assigned to the Aspergillus genus produce a wide range of mycotoxins which can contaminate several agricultural products, and cause various human and animal diseases. In this review, we wish to give an overview of producers of Aspergillus mycotoxins in view of recent scientific data.

The Occurrence, Properties and Significance of Citrinin Mycotoxin
Citrinin mycotoxin is a polyketide produced by several species of the genera Aspergillus, Penicillium and Monascus. Though A. niger is reported to be the highest producer of citrinin among the Aspergillus species, other citrinin producers of this genus include A. awentil, A. ostianus, A. fumigatus, A. niveus, A.awamori and A. parasiticus [1]. Some of the citrinin producing fungi are also able t...
متن کاملProducers and Important Dietary Sources of Ochratoxin A and Citrinin
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a very important mycotoxin, and its research is focused right now on the new findings of OTA, like being a complete carcinogen, information about OTA producers and new exposure sources of OTA. Citrinin (CIT) is another important mycotoxin, too, and its research turns towards nephrotoxicity. Both additive and synergistic effects have been described in combination with OTA. ...

متن کاملDiversity of black Aspergilli and mycotoxin risks in grape, wine and dried vine fruits
Mycotoxin risk in the grape product chain is primarily due to ochratoxin A (OTA) occurrence in wine and dried vine fruits. Aspergillus carbonarius and the A. niger group are the main agents of Aspergillus bunch rot of grape, and they, especially A. carbonarius, are responsible for OTA contamination worldwide. Fumonisin B2 (FB2) represents an additional potential mycotoxin risk in the grape-wine...
متن کاملToxigenic fungi isolated from dried vine fruits in Argentina.
To evaluate the potential for mycotoxin production by fungi in dried vine fruits, the mycobiota was determined both before and after surface disinfection. Predominant genera were Aspergillus (50.2%), Eurotium (21.4%) and Penicillium (13.5%). Aspergillus section Nigri ("black aspergilli") were isolated with relatively high frequency. Aspergillus niger was the most common species but only 3 of 29...
