Assay for aflatoxin production by the genera Aspergillus and Penicillium. 1968

P B Mislivec, and J H Hunter, and J Tuite

A total of 260 isolates, including 43 species of Penicillium and 7 species of Aspergillus, were screened for their ability to produce aflatoxin on rice. Chloroform extracts were analyzed by thin-layer chromatography. None of the isolates produced aflatoxin. Certain species of Penicillium produced fluorescent substances that either were similar in R(F) or were of similar color to B and G aflatoxins. These substances were subsequently proved not to be aflatoxin by two-dimensional chromatography, by reaction with iodine fumes, or by both methods.

D010407 Penicillium A mitosporic Trichocomaceae fungal genus that develops fruiting organs resembling a broom. When identified, teleomorphs include EUPENICILLIUM and TALAROMYCES. Several species (but especially PENICILLIUM CHRYSOGENUM) are sources of the antibiotic penicillin. Penicilliums
D002855 Chromatography, Thin Layer Chromatography on thin layers of adsorbents rather than in columns. The adsorbent can be alumina, silica gel, silicates, charcoals, or cellulose.

D000348 Aflatoxins Furano-furano-benzopyrans that are produced by ASPERGILLUS from STERIGMATOCYSTIN. They are structurally related to COUMARINS and easily oxidized to an epoxide form to become ALKYLATING AGENTS. Members of the group include AFLATOXIN B1; aflatoxin B2, aflatoxin G1, aflatoxin G2; AFLATOXIN M1; and aflatoxin M2. Aflatoxin
D001230 Aspergillus A genus of mitosporic fungi containing about 100 species and eleven different teleomorphs in the family Trichocomaceae.
D012275 Oryza A genus of grass family (Poaceae) that include several rice species. Oryza sativa,Rice,Rices
