Objective
Assess Aspergillus strains, some of which are used in fermentation processes for production of foods, for the presence or absence of aflatoxin genes and/or their expression products (mRNA's).
More information
Recently available cloned genes will be usd as probes in laboratory DNA/RNA hybridization assays (Southern blots and Northern blots) to detect the presence or absence of aflatoxin genes and/or their expression products.
