Effects of Light, Temperature, and pH Value on Aflatoxin Production In Vitro

A Z Joffe 1, N Lisker 1
PMCID: PMC378018  PMID: 5373682

Abstract

In the complete absence of light, an isolate of Aspergillus flavus produced up to 170,000 pg aflatoxin per g, whereas the incubation of the fungus in light caused a reduction (35,000 pg/g) of the toxin synthesis.
