Abstract
Raw and cooked soybean media were inoculated in separate experiments with Aspergillus flavus NRRL 3251, A. flavus ATCC 15548, and A. parasiticus NRRL 2999 isolates. The total quantity of aflatoxins produced and the percentage distribution of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2 varied with the state of the medium (raw or cooked) and with the fungal isolate used. Cooked soybean medium supported higher aflatoxin production by A. flavus NRRL 3251 and A. parasiticus NRRL 2999 than did raw medium. Larger quantities of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2 were produced by A. flavus ATCC 15548 on raw soybean medium than were produced by any of the isolates on cooked medium. Application of these data is discussed briefly in relation to possible use of soybean media as a source of aflatoxin production.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
