Zusammenfassung

Mycel, 8 oder 16 Tage alt, und von einem Aflatoxin bildenden Stamm vonAspergillus parasiticus, konnte die Aflatoxine B1, B2, G1, und G2 abbauen. Dies ging etwas schneller vor sich, wenn 16 Tage altes anstatt 8 Tage altes Mycel anwesend war. Die Aflatoxine wurden gleichermaßen abgebaut, wenn der pH-Wert des Mediums 2.5 oder 6.0 war. 4 Tage altes Mycel konnte die Aflatoxine nicht beeinflussen.

Summary

Aflatoxins B1 B2, G1, and G2 were degraded by the 8- and 16-day old but not by the 4-day old mycelium of a toxigenic strain ofAspergillus parasiticus. The 16-day old mycelium degraded the toxin more rapidly than did the 8-day old mycelium. Degradation of toxin by the mycelium was similar at pH 2.5 and 6.0.
