The effect of phytate on the production of aflatoxins by Aspergillus parasiticus and Aspergillus flavus grown on synthetic media was examined. In the absence of pH control (initial pH 4.5-6.5) for A. parasiticus, phytate (14.3 mM) caused a six-fold decrease in aflatoxins in the medium and a ten-fold

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
Florunner peanuts grown in research plots were subjected to 5 soil temperature and moisture treatment regimes resulting in A. flavus infestation and subsequent aflatoxin contamination in drought-stressed peanuts. Treatments imposed beginning 85 days after planting were drought, drought with heated s
