Abstract excerpt
Mutants of Aspergillus parasiticus highly resistant to phenylpyrroles were isolated at a high mutation frequency, after UV-mutagenesis and selection on media containing fludioxonil. Studies on the effect of mutation(s) on the aflatoxin production resulted in the identification of two fludioxonil-resistant phenotypes: aflatoxigenic (FLD(afl)(+)) and non-aflatoxigenic (FLD(afl)(-)) mutant strains. Most of the...
