Table 2.
Effect of Pseudomonas 4B on aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) and ochratoxin (OTA) production by Aspergillus isolates growing on BDA plates at 25 °C for 10 days. Values are expressed in μg/g of medium
| Treatments | AFB1 production (μg/g) by A. flavus | OTA production (μg/g) by A. carbonarius |
|---|---|---|
| Control | 27.7 ± 5.82 a | 13.7 ± 2.52 a |
| Pseudomonas sp. 4B | 1.58 ± 0.60 b | 4.97 ± 0.78 b |
a,bValues are the means ± standard deviation of two experiments carried out in three replicates. The same letters in each column indicate no significant differences among the data at 5% level by the Tukey test
