Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Elevated temperatures, particularly 37 °C, strongly induced expression of the aflatoxin biosynthetic cluster in A. flavus in corn silage.
- Association The reduction in AFB1 with L. fermentum was associated with transcriptional repression at 30 °C and 37 °C.
- Intervention effect L. fermentum consistently down-regulated aflR and all structural genes of the aflatoxin cluster in A. flavus.
- Intervention effect L. fermentum particularly strongly suppressed the late-pathway gene ordA at 30 °C.
- Recommendation The findings support incorporating selected L. fermentum strains into silage inoculants to mitigate AFB1 risk under high temperature.
