Abstract excerpt
Aspergillus parasiticus mutant strains resistant to DMIs were isolated in a high mutation frequency after UV-mutagenesis and selection on media containing flusilazole. Two different resistant phenotypes, R(1) and R(2), on the basis of their aflatoxigenic ability were identified. All R(1) mutant strains produced aflatoxins at concentrations significantly higher (up to 3-fold) than the wild-type parent strain on...
