| silica gel medium to detect molds that produce aflatoxin. | a chemically defined nutrient solution containing tartaric acid was made solid by mixing it with an alkaline silicate solution. production of aflatoxin by asperfilli growing on the silica gel medium coincided with the presence of a blue fluorescent area surrounding colonies, as observed under long-wave ultraviolet light. presence of aflatoxin in the medium was confirmed by drying the gels, extracting them with chloroform-methanol, and examining extracts for fluorescent materials by viewing them ... | 1976 | 185957 |
| examination of fungal growth and aflatoxin production on marihuana. | under favorable growth conditions, aspergillus flavus and a. parasiticus produced aflatoxins on marihuana. cultures of a. flavus atcc 15548 produced both aflatoxin b1 (afb1) and g1 (afg1). the production of afg1 was substantially greater than that of afb1. cultures of a. flavus nrrl 3251 and a. parasiticus nrrl 2999 produced only afb1. all natural flora cultures tested negative for aflatoxins. no aspergilli sporulations were observed in these cultures. in the cultures inoculated with known toxig ... | 1977 | 414138 |

| regulation of aflatoxin biosynthesis. 1 comparative study of mycelial composition and glycolysis in aflatoxigen and nonaflatoxigenic strains. | a comparative biochemical study of an aflatoxigenic strain aspergillus parasiticus nrrl 3240 and a nonaflatoxigenic strain a. flavus nrrl 3237 was carried out in order to have a better idea of regulation of aflatoxin biosynthesis. the results obtained revealed continuous primary metabolic activity (protein synthesis) in the nonaflatoxigenic strain while the aflatoxigenic stain showed inhibition of protein and nucleic acid synthesis. the aflatoxigenic strain showed higher levels of oxygen uptake, ... | 1977 | 204853 |

| inhibition of growth of aspergillus flavus and trichoderma viride by peanut embryos. | growth of aspergillus flavus and trichoderma viride on agar media was inhibited around embryos of green peanut seeds but not around embryos of cured seeds, intact peanut seeds, or testae. both fungi were able to colonize intact seeds and testae. substances inhibitory to a. flavus and t. viride were extracted with acetone from cotyledons of freshly harvested peanut seeds. four compounds inhibitory to a. flavus were detected in crude acetone extracts. three of the compounds demonstrated properties ... | 1975 | 239349 |
| [randomised investigations of some tyrolean swimming pools for the presence of trichomonas vaginalis and pathogenic fungi (author's transl)]. | trichomonads were not demonstrated either microscopically or by culture in water samples from 15 public open air swimming pools in the tyrol. on the other hand, a small number of pathogenic fungi (candida albicans, trichophyton mentagrophytes, tr. verrucosum) were cultured from pool water with a free chlorine content of less than 0.35 mg/l (dpd 1). dermatophytes could also be demonstrated by cultures of the coatings on the surfaces of tiles in the showers, and of pool surrounding-and cabin tract ... | 1975 | 239503 |

| aspergillus vegetative endocarditis and complete heart block in a patient with acute leukemia. | aspergillus flavus vegetative endocarditis together with myocardial abscesses and pneumonitis developed in a patient with acute lymphocytic leukemia. the initial diagnosis was not suspected until 67gallium imaging revealed a radiographically undetectable thoracic abnormality. despite apparently "early" diagnosis, antifungal therapy was inadequate to prevent disruption of the bundle of his, complete heart block and death. | 1979 | 289479 |
| radioprotective effect of aspergillus flavus. | a study designed to determine the extent and intensity of radioprotective effects of the mold conidium a. flavus in white mice revealed a higher survival rate with irradiation doses in the range of ld70-ld90; with irradiation with supralethal doses there is no difference in survival by stimulated and control mice. the radioprotective effect is independent of whether the strain a. flavus had been isolated from environment with enhanced radioactivity or not. it depends on a structure of the wall o ... | 1978 | 417272 |
| time dependence of radioprotective effects of a. flavus conidia. | no essential difference in radioprotection results when conidia of a. flavus are applied to mice within a time lapse of a few minutes up to 48 hours prior to irradiation. when applied 72 hr before irradiation, they fail to affect mouse resistance. application of conidia provide no protection to mice irradiated for 18-20 hr at the dose rate of 1 r/min; similarly ineffective are the chemoprotectors cistafos and mexamine. a combined administration of conidia and the two protective substances increa ... | 1978 | 417273 |
