  Definition of Aflatoxin
Chemical structure of Aflatoxin B1 Aflatoxins are naturally occurring mycotoxins that act as carcinogens and are produced by two types of mold, Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus.
Aspergillus flavus is common and widespread in nature and is most often found when peanuts and certain grains are grown under stressful conditions such as drought.
The mold occurs in soil, decaying vegetation, hay, and grains undergoing microbiological deterioration and invades all types of organic substrates whenever and wherever the conditions are favorable for its growth.

 Selective base for aflatoxin: News from Oxoid
AFPA Base is a modification of Aspergillus Differential Medium, and is based on the formulation devised by Pitt, Hocking and Glenn.
Colonies of A flavus and A parasiticus develop an intense yellow/orange colouration on the reverse of the colonies, which is a differential characteristic for these species.
Aspergillus often appears as a green mould when present on foods such as oilseeds, edible nuts and cereals, but the aflatoxins which may be produced are not visible to the naked eye.

A convenient and safe method to generate a large quantity of Aspergillus parasiticus spores.
In order to examine the spore pigments in strains of Aspergillus parasiticus, we developed a method to safely generate a large quantity of spores while conserving laboratory space, resources, and time.
In addition, the RBTLs save space since they have approximately 3X the usable surface area compared to Fernbach flasks and they can easily be stacked on their side on a shelf.

A DNA methyl-binding column was used to isolate genomic fragments enriched for DNA-methylation from Aspergillus parasiticus.
One of the isolated sequences presented 67% identity at the protein level with the transposase from the transposable element Tan1 of Aspergillus niger var.
Using methylation-sensitive Southern blotting, no evidence of methylation was found in the transposase sequences in these two A. oryzae strains as well as one A. parasiticus and one Aspergillus flavus strain.

The culture filtrates of five different soil fungi viz., Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus parasiticus, Penicillium falicum, Fusarium vasinfectum and Trichoderma viride were tested for the larvicidal activity against third instar larvae of mosquito vector Culex quinquefasciatus.
The concentrations of fungal culture filtrates used in the study ranged from 25 to 100 mg/L. The results showed that the larval mortality could be observed on 24 hours of exposure period.
The LC5 0 values of A. flavus, A. parasiticus, P. falicum, F. vasinfectum and T. viride were 38.34, 40.39, 44.97, 50.03 and 54.16 mg/L, respectively.

Synthesis of sterigmatocytin derivatives and their biotransformation to aflatoxins by a blocked mutant of Aspergillus parasiticus
Seven alkyl and aryl homologues of O-methylsterigmatocystin (OMST) were synthesised and fed in separate experiments to a mutant of Aspergillus parasiticus capable of converting sterigmatocystin (ST) to aflatoxin B_1 (AFB_1).
Their conversion to AFB_1 was followed over a time period and it was found that O-propylsterigmatocystin (OPRST) was converted to AFB_1 more rapidly than O-ethylsterigmatocystin (OEST) or OMST or ST itself.

To determine the molecular basis for the phenomenon of non-production of aflatoxin in certain members of the A. flavus group of the fungi with a view to understanding the global regulation of toxin synthesis and the convergent evolution of aflatoxin biosynthesis.
The present proposal is centered upon previously isolated A. parasiticus sec- (for secondary metabolism minus) strains, that display altered morphology and sporulation.
Recent work from our laboratory has shown that a mutation in aflR coding or promoter region is not responsible for the sec-phenotype.
