Biotransformation of aflatoxin B1 and its conjugated metabolites by rat gastrointestinal microfloras.
Rat cecal microflora from high- and low-fiber-fed animals hydrolyzed aflatoxin conjugates to metabolites indistinguishable from aflatoxin B1 and aflatoxin P1, but aflatoxicol was not a transformation product.
