Regional Recurring Patterns of S and L Strains of Aspergillus Flavus
نویسندگان
چکیده
The distribution of S and L strains of Aspergillus flavus shows a stable structure based on spatial analysis with GIS/ geostatistics, that was not previously realized. This information will be exceptionally useful to programs involved with or planning large scale treatments to reduce aflatoxin threats because it can be used to spatially focus treatments.

Gene deletion patterns in non-aflatoxigenic isolates of Aspergillus flavus
Fifteen non-aflatoxigenic strains of Aspergillus flavus, represent a wide range of geographic regions of Iran (six provinces include Fars, Ardebil, Guilan, Golestan, Kerman and Semnan) and vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs), were collected from corn (Zea mays L.), peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) and pistachio (Pistachia vera L.) soils and kernels, were screened for the presence of aflatoxin bi...
متن کاملApplication of PCR on detection of aflatoxinogenic fungi
Aflatoxins are carcinogenic metabolites produced by several strains of Aspergillus flavus group in food and feed. Cluster genes in aflatoxin biosynthesis pathway contain structural, regular and unassigned genes , nor-1 , ver-1 , and omt-1 are structural genes that coding for key enzymes and aflR is a regulatory gene that plays a key role in the production of aflatoxin and is affecting on the s...
متن کاملCharacterization of aflatoxigenic Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus strain isolates from animal feedstuffs in northeastern Iran
Aflatoxins are secondary toxic metabolites produced by some Aspergillus spp. particularly, Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus that contaminate food and feed. The objective of this study was to evaluate the contamination of feedstuffs with Aspergillus spp. and detect genes involved in the aflatoxin biosynthesis pathway of A. flavus and A. parasiticus isolates. A total of 110 cow feed samples ...

Out of fifty-two Iranian nonaflatoxigenic strains of Aspergillus flavus, which were collected from various substrates (soil and kernel) and sources (peanut, corn and pistachio), fifteen representatives were selected according to their different geographical origins (six provinces: Guilan and Golestan, Ardebil, Fars, Kerman and Semnan) and vegetative compatibility groups (VCGs, IR1 to IR15) for ...
متن کاملComparison of Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus oryzae by amplified fragment length polymorphism
The aflatoxin producer Aspergillus flavus and the koji mold Aspergillus oryzae are morphologically similar species that belong to the Aspergillus section Flavi. We used amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) to differentiate these two species. In this study, we tested thirteen A. flavus, nine A. oryzae, and three A. flavus var. columnaris strains. DNA fragment profiles amplified with eac...
