Aflatoxin-Producing Strains of Aspergillus flavus Detected by Fluorescence of Agar Medium Under Ultraviolet Light
AUTOR(ES)
Hara, S.
RESUMO
The fluorescence method of detecting aflatoxin-producing strains of Aspergillus flavus and related species utilizes the ultraviolet-induced fluorescence of aflatoxin produced in a modified Czapek's solution agar containing corn steep liquor, HgCl2, and (NH4)H2PO4 instead of NaNO3. The presence of aflatoxin is confirmed by thin-layer chromatography of CHCl3 extracts of the fluorescing agar.
