Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation All atoxigenic genotypes degraded more than 44% of AFB1 after 7 days at 30°C in aflatoxin-contaminated maize.
- Observation The optimum temperature for AFB1 degradation was 25 to 30°C, similar to the optimum range for AFB1 production.
- Observation In a time-course experiment, atoxigenics degraded 40% of AFB1 within 3 days.
- Observation 80% of aflatoxin had been degraded by day 21 in the time-course experiment.
- Observation Atoxigenic isolates degraded AFB1 and used it as a sole carbon source in a chemically defined medium.
- Association The quantity of AFB1 degraded declined as glucose concentration increased.
- Mechanism Degradation may be an additional mechanism by which atoxigenic A. flavus biocontrol products reduce aflatoxin contamination pre- or postharvest.
- Recommendation Selection of atoxigenic active ingredients can include assessing both competitive ability in fields and ability to degrade aflatoxins.
