Sexual reproduction and recombination in the aflatoxin-producing fungus Aspergillus parasiticus.

Fungal genetics and biology : FG & B - 1 Feb 2009

Horn Bruce W, Ramirez-Prado Jorge H, Carbone Ignazio

Abstract excerpt

The fungal phylum Ascomycota comprises a large proportion of species with no known sexual stage, despite high genetic variability in field populations. One such asexual species, Aspergillus parasiticus, is a potent producer of carcinogenic and hepatotoxic aflatoxins, polyketide-derived secondary metabolites that contaminate a wide variety of agricultural crops. In this study, individuals of A. parasiticus from a...
