We have treated a wild type strain of Aspergillus parasiticus with several known aflatoxin inhibitors in hopes of finding specific metabolic blocks in the aflatoxin biosynthetic pathway. In defined medium, benzoic acid (2 and 3 mg/ml), cinnamon (1 mg/ml), and sodium acetate (5 mg/ml) were fungitoxic

Resting cell cultures of Aspergillus parasiticus were grown in medium containing four different concentrations of glucose, with and without acetone. In addition, the effect of different equimolar concentrations of acetone, acetic acid, ethanol, and sodium acetate was compared at two glucose levels.
