## Abstract __Aspergillus flavus__ Link and __A. parasiticus__ Speare differed in sporulation and aflatoxin B~1~ formation on 15 brown rices differing in starch properties and protein content. There was no significant correlation between the degree of spore formation by the fungi and the amount of
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.
Growth and aflatoxin production by Aspergillus parasiticus NRRL 2999 and Aspergillus parasiticus RC 12 were studied both in sunflower seed and a synthetic culture medium (with and without zinc enrichment). On a synthetic culture medium the strains behaved in different ways according to the zinc conc
