Aflatoxin Biosynthesis, Genetic Regulation, Toxicity, and Control Strategies: A Review
Aflatoxins (AFs) are highly toxic and cancer-causing compounds, predominantly synthesized by the <i>Aspergillus</i> species. AFs biosynthesis is a lengthy process that requires as minimum as 30 genes grouped inside 75 kilobytes (kB) of gene clusters, which are regulated by specific trans...
