Profiles of aflatoxin biosynthetic key genes in non aflatoxigenic Aspergillus flavus isolated from in-process wheat flour from parts of Northern Nigeria

Aflatoxigenic molds are strains that produce aflatoxins. This study used yeast extract sucrose agar supplemented with 0.3% beta methyl cyclodextrin and 0.6% sodium desoxycholate to differentiate between aflatoxigenic and atoxigenic strains. ELISA and multiplex PCR techniques were also employed to assess aflatoxin production and detect key aflatoxin...
