title: Production of aflatoxin B1 by Aspergillus ruber THOM and CHURCH.
abstract: Production of aflatoxins by Aspergillus ruber THOM and CHURCH was first reported by KULIK and HOLADAY (1967), although these results have lacked confirmation. In this paper we provide evidence that this fungal strain produces aflatoxins. This finding has implications for food hygiene, especially in countries where such moulds are used in the preparation of foodstuffs.
