Mycotoxin genetics and gene clusters

2002-09-01

Abstract excerpt

Fungi produce low molecular weight secondary metabolites such as antibiotics and mycotoxins. Antibiotics cure diseases whereas mycotoxins cause diseases in plants, animals and human beings. Species such as Aspergillus, Fusarium, Penicillium and Stachybotrys are known to produce mycotoxins that accumulate in processed foods and feeds, although the incidence of infection occurs before processing, during the active g...
