Abstract
Among the 329 microorganisms tested for aflatoxin sensitivity were 30 genera of bacteria, 34 genera of fungi, 4 genera of algae, and 1 protozoan. Twelve species of the genus Bacillus, a clostridium, and a streptomycete were inhibited when 30 mug/ml of crude aflatoxin (36% pure) was incorporated into the growth substrate. A strain of Bacillus brevis and two of B. megaterium were most sensitive to aflatoxin, being inhibited at 10 and 15 mug/ml, respectively.Entities:
