AF production by A. parasiticus O1 (aflX disruptant) by precursor feeding
| Expt (precursor feeding)a | AF produced (ng/5-ml culture)b |
|---|---|
| None | 220 |
| AVN | 210 |
| AVF | 280 |
| HAVN | 270 |
| VA | 240 |
| ST | 620 |
| OMST | 750 |
a
Abbreviations: AVN, averantin; AVF, averufin; HAVN, hydroxyaverantin; ST, sterigmatocystin; OMST, O-methylsterigmatocystin.
b
Quantification of AF was by comparison of fluorescence on silica gel TLC plates to that of known amounts of authentic standards. The limit of detection was 5 ng. Experiments were repeated twice with similar results.
