Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1)-induced hepatic inflammation poses severe global health burdens with limited interventions. Here, we demonstrated that ferulic acid (FA), a cereal-derived polyphenol, alleviated AFB1 hepatotoxicity by remodeling gut microbiota and activating microbial tryptopha...

Aflatoxins are carcinogenic fungal secondary metabolites. Levels of aflatoxins in agricultural commodities are stringently regulated by many countries. A cluster of genes is responsible for aflatoxin biosynthesis by Aspergillus flavus and other closely related species. Expression of the clustered af...
ORGANISM(S): Aspergillus flavus 
Gene expression analysis of A. parasiticus grown under conditions conducive and nonconductive for aflatoxin production was evaluated using glass slide microarrays containing the 753 ESTs. A complex regulatory network governs the biosynthesis of aflatoxin. While several genes involved in aflatoxin ...
ORGANISM(S): Aspergillus parasiticus 
Aspergillus flavus is a pathogen of corn, peanut, and other crops which produces carcinogenic mycotoxins known as aflatoxins. Previous studies have shown that drought stress results in exacerbated aflatoxin production. Drought-associated oxidative stress caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS) is su...

The molecular mechanisms underlying aflatoxin production have been well-studied in strains of the fungus Aspergillus flavus (A. flavus) under artificial conditions. However, aflatoxin biosynthesis has rarely been studied in natural isolates of A. flavus strains. In the present study, tandem mass tag...

Gene expression analysis of A. parasiticus grown under conditions conducive and nonconductive for aflatoxin production was evaluated using glass slide microarrays containing 765 ESTs. Aflatoxins (AF) produced by Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus are responsible for approximately $270M in losses ...
ORGANISM(S): Aspergillus flavus 
Aflatoxins are carcinogenic secondary metabolites produced by the fungi Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. Repeated serial mycelial transfer or treatment of A. parasiticus with 5-azacytidine produced mutants with a fluffy phenotype and loss of aflatoxin production. To understand how the...
ORGANISM(S): Aspergillus parasiticus 
To better understand the effect of temperature on mycotoxin biosynthesis, RNA-Seq technology was used to profile the Aspergillus flavus transcriptome under different temperature conditions. This approachallowed us to quantify transcript abundance for over 80% of fungal genes including 1,153 genes th...
ORGANISM(S): Aspergillus flavus 
The carcinogen aflatoxin is synthesized by a cluster of genes that are regulated by the transcriptional factor, AflR. Most, but not all of these genes, have a consensus binding site for AflR in their 5’ untranslated region. Because aflR resides within the biosynthetic cluster, is has been sugges...
ORGANISM(S): Aspergillus parasiticus 
Aspergillus flavus is the major producer of carcinogenic aflatoxins in crops worldwide. Natural populations of A. flavus show tremendous variation in aflatoxin production some of which can be attributed to extreme environmental conditions (e.g., drought), differential regulation of the aflatoxin bi...
