India is the largest jute and fifth maize producing country in world. In commonly stored transported bags which are used multiple times. Aflatoxin contamination of a major issue India. This study evaluated potential impact re-using on risk aflatoxin food supply chain. A total 121 were collected India; 95 had been for 26 new. Significantly higher numbers viable aflatoxigenic fungi counted from r...

Fungi are eukaryotic, heterogeneous, unicellular to filamentous, spore-bearing, and chemoorganotrophic organisms which lack chlorophyll. This present study was carried out isolate identify fungi from petroleum-contaminated soil. Several fungal genera included Rhizopus spp., Mucor Penicillium Rhizoctonia Aspergillus Alternaria Cladosporiumspp. were isolated using potatoes dextrose agar, Czapek-D...

Aspergillus flavus is a diverse assemblage of strains that include aflatoxin-producing and non-toxigenic strains with cosmopolitan distribution. The most promising strategy currently being used to reduce preharvest contamination of crops with aflatoxin is to introduce non-aflatoxin (biocontrol) A. flavus into the crop environment. Whether or not introduction of biocontrol strains into agricultu...

Aflatoxins (AFs) are carcinogenic secondary metabolites of Aspergillus parasiticus. In previous studies, non-toxigenic A. parasiticus sec- (for secondary metabolism negative) variants were generated through serial transfer of mycelia from their toxigenic sec+ (for secondary metabolism positive) parents for genetic and physiological analysis for understanding regulation of AF biosynthesis. Previ...

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...

Aspergillus ochraceoroseus and Aspergillus rambellii were isolated from soil detritus in Taï National Park, Ivory Coast, Africa. The Type strain for each species happens to be the only representative ever sampled. Both species secrete copious amounts of aflatoxin B1 and sterigmatocystin, because each of their genomes contains clustered genes for biosynthesis of these mycotoxins. We sequenced th...

fractions obtained from partitioning of aerial methanolic extract of euphorbia aellenii with chloroform (e2), ethyl acetate (e3), n-butanol (e4) and water (e5) were investigated in vitro for their phytotoxicity, insecticidal, anti-leishmanial, cytotoxicity, antibacterial and antifungal activities. sample e2 appeared to have significant phytotoxic activity. in the insecticidal screening study on...
