Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Aspergillus fungi were found on cut sugarcane stems from one island.
- Observation A. parasiticus predominated among the detected fungi.
- Observation Atypical A. parasiticus isolates with metulated conidial heads were detected.
- Observation About 89% of all isolates produced aflatoxin.
- Observation About 69% of A. flavus isolates produced aflatoxin.
- Observation More than 40% of A. flavus isolates produced G aflatoxin.
- Method / resource Conidial wall texture by SEM distinguished A. parasiticus from A. flavus.
- Observation No tested A. parasiticus isolates synthesized cyclopiazonic acid.
- Observation No tested G aflatoxin-producing A. flavus isolates synthesized cyclopiazonic acid.
- Observation A. parasiticus from these areas differed from its type strain and formed three DNA types.
- Observation The G aflatoxin-producing A. flavus strains were A. nomius and formed two DNA types.
