Studying the ability of some Amylase producing fungal isolates for the secretion of aflatoxins


Abstract in English

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.
