Ten isolates of fungi-producing amylase were isolated from six different
sources (different kinds of soils - air-spoilage bread) on malt extract agar
(MEA) and potato dextrose agar (PDA). Four isolates were identified in
Museum of Natural History
Paris- France and six isolates were identified in the
College of Agriculture, Damascus University.
The ability of fungal isolates for secretion aflatoxins B1, B2 and G1 was
detected by thin layer chromatography technique and the quantity of toxins
was determined by using electronic scanner in Syrian Atomic Agency by
comparison with similar standard toxins.
