Aspergillus ochraceus produces a mycotoxin named ochratoxin A (OTA). (wikipedia.org)
Ochratoxin A (OTA), a mycotoxin produced by A. ochraceus, contaminates food and initiates apoptosis of plant cells. (wikipedia.org)
Citrinin is a nephrotoxic mycotoxin produced by several fungal strains belonging to the genera Penicillium, Aspergillus and Monascus. (researchgate.net)
It contaminates various commodities of plant origin, cereals in particular, and is usually found together with another nephrotoxic mycotoxin, ochratoxin A. These two mycotoxins are believed to be involved in the etiology of endemic nephropathy. (researchgate.net)
Flavus2
Aspergillus flavus is a significant fungus that poses a threat to food safety by producing mycotoxins in various crops. (usda.gov)
Maize is frequently contaminated with multiple mycotoxins, especially those produced by Aspergillus flavus and Fusarium verticillioides. (usda.gov)
Species8
Aspergillus ochraceus is a mold species in the genus Aspergillus known to produce the toxin ochratoxin A, one of the most abundant food-contaminating mycotoxins, and citrinin. (wikipedia.org)
Under this genus the species Aspergillus ochraceus was discovered by the German botanist and mycologist Karl Adolf Wilhelm in 1877. (wikipedia.org)
After this discovery, some other species that looked similar to Aspergillus ochraceus were considered synonyms of this fungus. (wikipedia.org)
Among these genera, Aspergillus oryzae is of particular interest in the context of malic acid production with bio-based substrates as this species exhibits a high tolerance against biomass-derived inhibitors [ 9 ]. (biomedcentral.com)
Contamination with mycotoxins is a recurrent problem in Brazil nuts and is caused mainly by post-harvest infection with Aspergillus section Flavi species. (researchgate.net)
Aspergillus nomius is a potent producer of aflatoxins B and G and is one of the most common species of fungi found in Brazil nuts. (researchgate.net)
Therefore, assessment of the response of aflatoxigenic species to different temperatures is important to add information about the understanding of aflatoxin production by Aspergillus nomius and may help in the development of new strategies to prevent aflatoxin contamination. (researchgate.net)
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a secondary metabolite produced primarily by the genus Aspergillus sp. (usda.gov)
Fungal2
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a toxic secondary fungal metabolite that widely takes place in various kinds of foodstuffs and feeds. (frontiersin.org)
the spectrum of activity of anidulafungin includes candida and aspergillus, the two main etiological agents causing invasive fungal infections. (liverpool.ac.uk)
Food1
However it is reasonable to believe that humans are much more frequently exposed to citrinin than generally accepted, because it is produced by the same moulds as ochratoxin A which common contaminant of human food all over the world. (researchgate.net)
Shown1
Health Effects: Ochratoxin A has been shown to interfere with cellular physiology in multiple ways. (mountainenvironmentals.com)
Ochratoxin has been detected in blood and other animal tissues and in milk, including human milk. (mountainenvironmentals.com)
Development1
characterization of nika histidine kinase and two response regulators with special reference to osmotic adaptation and asexual development in aspergillus nidulans. (liverpool.ac.uk)
High1
Aspergillus oryzae is a suitable candidate due to its high tolerance and broad substrate spectrum. (biomedcentral.com)
