Anti-Therapeutic Action: gliotoxin

Editorial: Aspergillus-Derived Mycotoxins in the Feed and Food Chain

mycolabadmin

Aspergillus fungi produce harmful toxins called mycotoxins that can contaminate our food and animal feed at various stages from farm to table. Climate change is making this problem worse by helping these fungi spread and produce more toxins. Scientists are working on multiple solutions including using harmless fungi strains to compete with the harmful ones, using natural plant compounds to stop toxin production, and developing better ways to detect and remove these toxins from food and feed.

Design of a melting curve analysis (MCA) based on multiplex real-time PCR for detection of Aspergillus terreus and Aspergillus fumigatus in cereals and oilseeds samples

This study developed a fast molecular test using real-time PCR to detect harmful Aspergillus fungi in grains and seeds. Instead of waiting 3-5 days for traditional culture methods, this new test can identify the fungi in just hours by detecting specific DNA patterns. The test was tested on 140 samples of cereals and oilseeds and proved more accurate than traditional methods, making it useful for food safety in markets and processing plants.
