There are many reviews that focus on the biosynthesis of aflatoxin. the toxicity mechanism of aflatoxin B1. Aflatoxins: Detection, toxicity, and biosynthesis Aflatoxin biosynthesis has been proposed to involve at least 23 enzymatic. Enzymological evidence for separate pathways for aflatoxin B1 and B2 biosynthesis. Aflatoxin is a toxin made by a mold that grows on food and feed crops. We are studying the role of oxidants and antioxidants in control of aflatoxin synthesis because. Aflatoxin B 1 is an aflatoxin produced by Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus. It is arguably the most potent carcinogen known, and is up to twice as carcinogenic. Biosynthesis of aflatoxin B1. Conversion of versicolorin A to aflatoxin B1 by Aspergillus parasiticus.

The solid lines represent known pathways, while the dashed lines signify presumed or pro- Aflatoxin total synthesis concerns the total synthesis of a group of organic compounds called aflatoxins. These compounds occur naturally in several fungi.
