Suppression of mycotoxins production and efficient chelation of heavy metals using natural melanin originated from Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus carbonarius

Abstract Background This study employed melanin synthesized by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus carbonarius to inhibit the production of mycotoxins and bioremediation of heavy metals (HMs). Methods First, twenty fungal isolates were obtained from soil samples, and were evaluated to produce melanin...
