results mycoflora profiles of fresh and stored rice grains showed that aspergillus species (37.3%, 40.7%) were the predominant fungal agents, followed by fusarium (21.6%, 16.2%), mucor (19.6%, 16.7%) and rhizopus (9.8%, 11.1%), respectively. in hplc analysis, most of the rice samples (96.7%) collected were found to be positive for fb1 with mean levels ranging from not detected to 56.2 mg/kg for...

A comparative study of the performance two different luciferases, Gaussia and NanoLuc Luciferase, expressed in combination with a fumonisin mimopeptide was carried out this work. The fusion protein showing best used for analysis B1 wheat samples bead-based immunoassay.

BACKGROUND Fumonisin B(1) is a cancerogenic mycotoxin produced by Fusarium verticillioides and other fungi. Sphingopyxis sp. MTA144 can degrade fumonisin B(1), and a key enzyme in the catabolic pathway is an aminotransferase which removes the C2-amino group from hydrolyzed fumonisin B(1). In order to study this aminotransferase with respect to a possible future application in enzymatic fumonisi...

objective(s):fumonisins are a group of toxic and carcinogenic mycotoxins, which contaminate the grains and their products. the aim of this study was to examine the apoptotic and proliferative activity of mouse gastric mucosa following administration of fumonisin b1 (fb1).    materials and methods: twenty-nine female mice divided into treatment (n=15) and control (n=14) groups. the treatment gro...

The activation of programmed cell death (PCD) is often a result of complex signalling pathways whose relationship and intersection are not well understood. We recently described a PCD root hair assay and proposed that it could be used to rapidly screen genetic or pharmacological modulators of PCD. To further assess the applicability of the root hair assay for studying multiple signalling pathwa...

Aspergillus species are able to produce a range of mycotoxins, including e.g. aflatoxins, ochratoxins, fumonisins and patulin. Aflatoxins are mainly produced by members of Aspergillus section Flavi, and they contaminate various agricultural products in several parts of the world. Several recent reports have indicated that aflatoxin-producing fungi and consequently aflatoxin contamination occur ...
