The presence of fungi and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) in 101 animal feed samples randomly collected from different vendors factories Algeria was investigated. For fungi, the main genera isolated were Aspergillus, Penicillium Fusarium. Furthermore, 459 strains Aspergillus section Flavi screened for their ability to produce aflatoxins cyclopiazonic acid (CPA). 49% produced AFB1 while 74.5% producers. hig...

Aflatoxin is a mycotoxin generated mostly by the fungus Aspergillus flavus, which may be found in food and feed. It carcinogenic poison for both humans animals. The goal of this investigation was to see if toxicogenic A. flavus strains might on nuts Kurdistan Region. A total Fifty nut samples. colony color texture were used identify macromorphological qualities, whereas spore color, size, struc...

Aflatoxin production inhibitors, which do not inhibit the growth of aflatoxigenic fungi, may be used to control aflatoxin without incurring a rapid spread of resistant strains. A respiration inhibitor that inhibits aflatoxin production was identified during a screening process for natural, aflatoxin-production inhibitors. This prompted us to evaluate respiration inhibitors as potential aflatoxi...

The occurrence of mycotoxigenic species in peanuts is a major concern, and has been investigated depth for many years. However, most studies focus on the aflatoxigenic fungi, such as Aspergillus section Flavi. present study aimed to clarify Nigri, group that harbors capable producing ochratoxin A (OTA), which scarcely peanuts. total 52 peanut samples, collected field from storage, were analyzed...
