Aspergillus parasiticus NRRL-2999 was inoculated into meat mixtures with curing salts and into yeast extractsucrose (YES) and sucrose-ammonium salts (SAS) broth with and without curing salts to determine if the presence of curing salts significantly affected growth and aflatoxin production by the mold. The effect of individual curing salts or curing salt mixtures on growth and toxin elaboration by the aspergillus was substrate dependent. When YES broth contained 100 ppm of NaNO2, 2% NaCl, or 1 or 2% NaCl plus 200 ppm of NaNO2 or 200 ppm of NaNO3, growth and/or aflatoxin production was depressed. Biosynthesis of aflatoxin B1 was enhanced by presence of 1 and 4% NaCl in YES broth. The SAS broth containing only NaCl or NaCl combined with nitrite or nitrate yielded less aflatoxin than did control broth or no aflatoxin at all. When compared to the control, an increase in growth and amount of aflatoxin occurred in SAS broth which contained 200 ppm of NaNO3. Sausages containing 100 and 200 ppm NaNO2 and no NaCl supported more mold growth and aflatoxin production than did control sausage with 3 % NaCl and 100 ppm of NaNO2. Addition of 2 and 3 % NaCl and no nitrite to sausage resulted in less aflatoxin than in control sausage.  相似文献

Aflatoxin B2a (AB2a), aflatoxin G2a (AG2a), and the hemiacetal of sterigmatocystin have been shown to form immunoreactive conjugates with albumin. The conjugates were formed following incubation of solution mixtures at room temperature for 1 h, as demonstrated by spectrophotometry and enzyme immunoassay. Anti-AB2a antibodies reacted with AB2a, aflatoxin B1, and aflatoxin B2 (100, 8.8, and 5.9%, respectively); a similar result was obtained for anti-AG2a antibodies reacting with AG2a, aflatoxin G1, and aflatoxin G2 (100, 2.5, and <1.0%, respectively). Binding of anti-AB2a and anti-AG2a antibodies to solid-phase conjugates of AB2a or AG2a exhibited similar analytical characteristics.  相似文献

Mutants ofAspergillus flavus were recovered following the irradiation of conidia with ultraviolet light. Analysis of the mutants for aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2 indicated a wide range of variability in aflatoxin levels. None of the isolates produced the G toxins, and four produced little or no aflatoxin B2. Production of B1 and B2 by the mutants ranged from 1.3 µ;g/ml to 967 µg/ml and zero to 30 µg/ml, respectively. The correlation between production of B1 and B2 was statistically significant. There was no apparent correlation between nutritional requirement or conidial color and aflatoxin production.  相似文献

To evaluate the rate at which the four main aflatoxins (aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2) are able to cross the luminal membrane of the rat small intestine, a study about intestinal absorption kinetics of these mycotoxins has been made. In situ results obtained showed that the absorption of aflatoxins in rat small intestine is a very fast process that follows first-order kinetics, with an absorption rate constant (k a ) of 5.84±0.05 (aflatoxin B1), 4.06±0.09 (aflatoxin B2), 2.09±0.03 (aflatoxin G1) and 1.58±0.04 (aflatoxin G2) h–1, respectively.  相似文献

The potential of high-performance liquid chromatography as a technique for separating aflatoxins B1 B2, G1, G2, B2a, Q1, M1, P1, aflatoxicol, and a degradation product of aflatoxin B1, 2,3-dihydrodiol, has been assessed. A microparticulate silica adsorption column used with a 1:1 chloroform -dichloromethane eluant provided good resolution of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2 but the addition of 1% propan-2-ol was necessary for the elution of aflatoxins M1 and Q1. By selecting appropriate solvent mixtures, good resolution of all of the aflatoxins studied was obtained using columns containing an octadecyl (C18) reversed-phase bonded to a microparticulate support. Details are given for resolving: (1) aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2 using a 5% tetrahydrofuran-15% dimethylformamide in water eluant and (2) aflatoxins B1 B2a, Q1 M1 P1 aflatoxicol, and a product of aflatoxin B1 2,3-dihydrodiol treated with Tris-buffer, using either 15% dimethylformamide in water or 10% tetrahydrofuran in water as eluant.  相似文献

Indirect enzyme immunoassay based on immobilized conjugate of aflatoxin B1 carboxymethyloxime with bovine serum albumin and polyclonal rabbit antibodies allows determining aflatoxin B1 with a low relative cross-reactivity against aflatoxin B2, G1, G2, M1 B2a, and G2a and sterigmatocystin (15.5, 15.5, 1.7, 1.0, 0.03, 0.03 and 0.01%, respectively) with a sensitivity of 0.04 ng per well or 4.0 ng per ml organic solvent.  相似文献

A survey was carried out to obtain data on the occurrence of mycotoxins and the mycotoxin-producing potential of fungi isolated from nuts (almonds, peanuts, hazelnuts, pistachio nuts) and sunflower seeds in Spain. Thin-layer chromatography was used to separate the toxins. Aflatoxins were detected in one sample of almonds (95 ppb aflatoxin B1 and 15 ppb aflaxtoxin B2) and in one sample of peanuts at a level below 10 ppb of aflatoxin B1. 100% of samples showed variable incidence of fungal contamination. The predominant fungi present in samples were Penicillium spp, Aspergillus niger, A. flavus, A. glaucus and Rhizopus spp. The results showed that isolates of different species were able to produce aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, and G2, sterigmatocystin, ochratoxin A, patulin, citrinin, penicillic acid, zearalenone, and griseofulvin.  相似文献

Summary The effect of temperature on formation of aflatoxin on solid substrate (rice) byAspergillus flavus NRRL 2999 has been studied in some detail. The optimum temperature for production of both aflatoxin B1 and G1 under the conditions employed is 28° C. Comparable yields of B1 were obtained at 32° C, but considerably less G1 was produced at this temperature. Both B1 and G1 were found in lesser amounts at temperatures above 32° C, and the aflatoxin content of rice incubated at 37° C was low (300–700 ppb) even though growth was good.Reducing the temperature from 28° to 15° C resulted in progressively less aflatoxin, but 100 ppb of B1 was detected in cultures incubated 3 weeks at 11° C. No aflatoxin was produced at 8° C.The ratio of the four aflatoxins is affected by temperature. At the lower temperatures, essentially equal amounts of aflatoxin B1 and G1 were produced, whereas at 28° C, approximately four times as much B1 was detected as G1. At the higher temperatures, relatively less G was formed, until at 37° C, less than 10 ppb was detected.This is a laboratory of the Northern Utilization Research and Development Division, Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture.  相似文献

This study evaluated the ability of the microorganisms Rhizopus oryzae (CCT7560) and Trichoderma reesei (QM9414), producers of generally recognized as safe (GRAS) enzymes, to reduce the level of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2, and M1. The variables considered to the screening were the initial number of spores in the inoculum and the culture time. The culture was conducted in contaminated 4 % potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium, and the residual mycotoxins were determined every 24 h by HPLC-FL. The fungus R. oryzae has reduced aflatoxins B1, B2, and G1 in the 96 h and aflatoxins M1 and G2 in the range of 120 h of culture by approximately 100 %. The fungus T. reesei has reduced aflatoxins B1, B2, and M1 in the 96 h and aflatoxin G1 in the range of 120 h of culture by approximately 100 %. The highest reduction occurred in the middle of R. oryzae culture.  相似文献

A method for the determination of aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2, M1 and Q1 in human urine has been developed. The 10-ml urine samples were automatically cleaned up on immunoaffinity columns and analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), including post-column derivatization with bromine and fluorescence detection. Average aflatoxin recoveries were: B1 103%, B2 106%, G1 98% and G2 96% in the range 6.8–73 pg/ml of urine and M1 103% and Q1 100% in the range 18–97 pg/ml of urine. The relative standard deviations were all between 1% and 21%. The determination limits of aflatoxins in urine were 6.8 pg/ml for B1, B2, G1 and G2 and 18 pg/ml for M1 and Q1.  相似文献

The influence of varying combinations of water activity (aw) and temperature on growth, aflatoxin biosynthesis and aflR/aflS expression of Aspergillus parasiticus was analysed in the ranges 17–42°C and 0.90–0.99 aw. Optimum growth was at 35°C. At each temperature studied, growth increased from 0.90 to 0.99 aw. Temperatures of 17 and 42°C only supported marginal growth. The external conditions had a differential effect on aflatoxin B1 or G1 biosynthesis. The temperature optima of aflatoxin B1 and G1 were not at the temperature which supported optimal growth (35°C) but either below (aflatoxin G1, 20–30°C) or above (aflatoxin B1, 37°C). Interestingly, the expression of the two regulatory genes aflR and aflS showed an expression profile which corresponded to the biosynthesis profile of either B1 (aflR) or G1 (aflS). The ratios of the expression data between aflS:aflR were calculated. High ratios at a range between 17 and 30°C corresponded with the production profile of aflatoxin G1 biosynthesis. A low ratio was observed at >30°C, which was related to aflatoxin B1 biosynthesis. The results revealed that the temperature was the key parameter for aflatoxin B1, whereas it was water activity for G1 biosynthesis. These differences in regulation may be attributed to variable conditions of the ecological niche in which these species occur.  相似文献

The luncheon meat samples analyzed, which were produced locally by the two main luncheon meat producing companies in Egypt were relatively highly contaminated either by moulds and yeasts in general, aflatoxigenic species and aflatoxin residues in particular. The most frequently encountered fungi from the samples were yeasts, Aspergillus niger, A. flavus, Penicillium chrysogenum, Rhizopus stolonifer, Mucor circinelloides. Less common were Cladosporium sphaerospermum, Alternaria alternata, Mycosphaerella tassiana, P. aurantiogriseum and P. oxalicum. The most important aflatoxigenic species, A. flavus, was isolated frequently. It was 10% of the total fungal isolates from both samples of the two companies. Seven luncheon meat samples out of 50 analyzed were positive for aflatoxin B1 or B1 and G1, while all samples were negative for aflatoxins B2, G2, M1 and M2. Aflatoxin B1 was detected only in 4 and 3 samples out of 25 analyzed from each of company A and B, respectively. The highest detectable level, 11.1 ppb, was recorded in a sample from company B and the least, 0.5 ppb, in a sample from company A. Aflatoxin G1, at concentration of 3.2 ppb, was detected in only one sample of the aflatoxin B1 – contaminated 3 samples of company B: this sample also had the highest level of aflatoxin B1. Some luncheon meat samples had higher numbers of aflatoxigenic A. flavus than others, however these samples were negative for aflatoxins. The hazardous potential of such contamination will be discussed. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Zusammenfassung Mit Hilfe cytochemischer Methoden wurde der Einfluß verschiedener Konzentrationen von Aflatoxin B1 (100 ppm, 10 ppm, 0 ppm) auf die Enzyme Succinat-Dehydrogenase, L (+)-Lactat: NAD-Oxydoreduktase, Alkohol-Dehydrogenase, L-Isocitrat: NAD-Oxydoreduktase, Malat dehydrierendes Enzym (NAD als Akzeptor), NADPH2-Cytochrom c-Reduktase, Cytochromoxydase und saure Phosphatase des PilzesMucor hiemalis untersucht. Succinat-Dehydrogenase, Alkohol-Dehydrogenase, L-Isocitrat: NAD-Oxydoreduktase und saure Phosphatase wurden bereits durch 10 ppm des Mycotoxins in ihren Aktivitäten vermindert. Atypische Sporenkeimung und verringerter Durchmesser der Hyphen waren die äußeren Kennzeichen der Aflatoxin B1-Intoxikation. Die Ähnlichkeit des Eingriffs von Aflatoxin B1 in den Stoffwechsel der Leber junger Enten und in denjenigen von Zellen vonMucor hiemalis wird diskutiert.
Investigations of the influence of aflatoxin B1 on the morphology and the cytochemically detectable activities of some enzymes ofMucor hiemalis (Mucorales). Using cytochemical methods the influence of various concentrations of aflatoxin B1 (100 ppm 10 ppm, 0 ppm) on the enzymes succinic dehydrogenase, L(+)-lactate: NAD oxidoreductase, alcohol dehydrogenase, L-isocitrate: NAD oxidoreductase, malate dehydrogenating enzyme (NAD as acceptor), NADPH2: cytochrome reductase, cytochrome oxidase and acid phosphatase of the fungusMucor hiemalis was investigated. The activity of succinic dehydrogenase, alcohol dehydrogenase, L-isocitrate: NAD oxidoreductase and acid phosphatase was reduced by the addition of only 10 ppm of the mycotoxin. The morphological symptoms of aflatoxin B1 intoxication were atypical germination of the spores and reduced diameter of the hyphae. The similarity between the interference of aflatoxin B1 with metabolism in the liver of ducklings and that of the cells ofMucor hiemalis is the subject of discussion.

Aims: To prepare, purify and characterize an extracellular enzyme from Myxococcus fulvus ANSM068, designated as myxobacteria aflatoxin degradation enzyme (MADE), which possesses degradation activity against aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), G1 (AFG1) and M1 (AFM1) in solution. Methods and Results: The culture supernatant of strain M. fulvus demonstrated high degradation ability against AFB1 (71·89%), AFG1 (68·13%) and AFM1 (63·82%) after 48 h of incubation. An enzyme was purified from the supernatant of M. fulvus using ethanol precipitation and chromatography on DEAE‐Sepharose and Superdex 75. An overall 166‐fold purification of the enzyme with a recovery of 57% and a final specific activity of 569·44 × 103 U mg?1 was obtained using the present purification protocol. The apparent molecular mass of MADE was estimated to be 32 kDa by SDS‐PAGE. AFG1 and AFM1 were significantly degraded, by 96·96 and 95·80%, respectively, when treated with pure MADE (100 U ml?1) produced by strain ANSM068. MADE exhibited the largest amount of activity at 35°C and pH 6·0, with Mg2+ ions greatly promoting and Zn2+ strongly inhibiting MADE activity. Conclusions: An aflatoxin degradation enzyme from bacterial isolates can effectively remove aflatoxin B1, G1 and M1 in solution. Significance and Impact of the Study: The high activity and wide temperature and pH range of MADE for the degradation of aflatoxin have promising applications in control of mycotoxins during food and feed processing.  相似文献

From a single aflatoxin B1 oxime — bovine serum albumin conjugate, polyclonal and monoclonal antibody preparations were produced. The four rabbit polyclonal antisera were specific for aflatoxin Bi in a microtitration plate enzyme — linked immunosorbent assay. The monoclonal antibodies showed a wide range of differing specificities, recognizing, for example, aflatoxins B1, B2, G1 and G2; B1 and B2; B1 and G1; and G1 alone. No antibody preparations reacted with aflatoxin M1. The significance of these results to the strategy of anti-aflatoxin antibody production for use in quantitative enzyme immunoassays is discussed.  相似文献

This study determined the decrease of aflatoxin B1 by sheep saliva at concentrations of 150 and 300 μg aflatoxin B-1/L saliva. Analyses for aflatoxins B1, M1, and aflatoxicol (R0) were performed after 2, 4, 6, 24, and 48 hours of incubation. Aflatoxin M1 and R0 were not detected and only residues of aflatoxin B1 were found. 4 to 13% of aflatoxin B1 were decomposed by sheep’s saliva within 2 hrs and 33 to 43% of aflatoxin B1 after 24 hrs. Decomposition was affected by the aflatoxin concentration. Decrease of aflatoxin B1 at 2, 4, 6 hrs was nearly three times higher at the low concentration (150 ppb) compared to the high concentration (300 ppb). After 48 hrs incubation more than 80% of the initial aflatoxin B1 had been decomposed by the saliva.  相似文献

Essential oils extracted from Citrus reticulata and Cymbopogon citratus were tested in vitro against the toxigenic strain of Aspergillus flavus, isolated from the tuberous roots of Asparagus racemosus, used in preparation of herbal drugs. The essential oils completely inhibited the growth of A. flavus at 750 ppm and also exhibited a broad fungitoxic spectrum against nine additional fungi isolated from the roots. Citrus reticulata and Cymbopogon citratus essential oils completely inhibited aflatoxin B1 production at 750 and 500 ppm, respectively. During in vivo investigation, the incidence of fungi and aflatoxin B1 production decreased considerably in essential oil-treated root samples. The findings thus indicate possible exploitation of the essential oils as effective inhibitor of aflatoxin B1 production and as post-harvest fungitoxicant of traditionally used plant origin for the control of storage fungi. These essential oils may be recommended as plant-based antifungals as well as aflatoxin B1 suppressors in post-harvest processing of herbal samples.  相似文献

Degradation of Pure Aflatoxins by Tetrahymena pyriformis   总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1       下载免费PDF全文
Tetrahymena pyriformis W with nutrients, ca. 22 × 106 cells, decreased the concentration of aflatoxin B1 58% in 24 hr and 67% in 48 hr. An unknown, bright-blue fluorescent substance was produced, with intensity about one-half that of the unchanged B1, with an Rf of 0.52 compared with 0.59 for B1 and 0.55 for B2 on a thin-layer chromatography plate, and with an ultraviolet spectrum showing maxima of 253, 261, and 328 mμ. In a separate assay, the cells with nutrients did not degrade pure G1. Starved, washed cells, ca. 11 × 106, decreased the concentration of B1 50% in 10 hr, 70% in 22 hr, and 75% in 30 hr, producing the same unknown component. Ethyl alcohol, 1.96% (v/v), decreased cell populations and size, but the cells remained actively motile in broth plus the alcohol for 96 hr. In 72 hr, neither toxin (ca. 2 ppm) in combination with ethyl alcohol had more inhibitory effect on cell numbers, with or without nutrients, than was produced by alcohol alone. Aflatoxin B1 had no observed effect on the viability of the starved cells for 30 hr or on the nourished cells for 72 hr. There was no noticeable effect of G1 on the starved cells in 30 hr or on the nourished cells in 48 hr. After 72 hr with G1 plus nutrients, many of the cells were round with blisters, nonmotile, and apparently dead or dying.  相似文献

Steaming one-half of a lot of 9-day-old mycelia of Aspergillus parasiticus NRRL 2999 for 6 min resulted in little or no subsequent degradation of aflatoxin B1 or G1 by these mycelia. The other half of these mycelia was not heat-treated and degraded aflatoxins B1 and G1 Filtrates of the growth substrate which remained after the mycelium was removed from 8- to 15-day old cultures of A. parasiticus NRRL 2999 did not degrade substantial amounts of aflatoxin B1 or G1, whereas mycelia originally produced on these filtrates degraded substantial amounts of both aflatoxins. The supernatant fluid from homogenates of 9-day-old mycelia of A. parasiticus NRRL 2999 degraded aflatoxins B1 and G1 when 0.1 M or 1.0 M phosphate buffer, pH 6.5, was used to suspend the homogenate. These data support the hypothesis that the aflatoxin degrading factor(s) present in the mycelium of A. purasiticus is/are enzyme(s) or at least influenced by enzyme(s).  相似文献

Aflatoxins are toxic and carcinogenic secondary metabolites produced by the fungi Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. To better understand the molecular mechanisms that regulate aflatoxin production, the biosynthesis of the toxin in A. flavus and A. parasticus grown in yeast extract sucrose media supplemented with 50 mM tryptophan (Trp) were examined. Aspergillus flavus grown in the presence of 50 mM tryptophan was found to have significantly reduced aflatoxin B1 and B2 biosynthesis, while A. parasiticus cultures had significantly increased B1 and G1 biosynthesis. Microarray analysis of RNA extracted from fungi grown under these conditions revealed 77 genes that are expressed significantly different between A. flavus and A. parasiticus, including the aflatoxin biosynthetic genes aflD (nor-1), aflE (norA), and aflO (omtB). It is clear that the regulatory mechanisms of aflatoxin biosynthesis in response to Trp in A. flavus and A. parasiticus are different. These candidate genes may serve as regulatory factors of aflatoxin biosynthesis.  相似文献
