Notes:
The ability of a wide variety of carbon sources to induce and support aflatoxin synthesis by Aspergillus parasiticus was examined using mycelia pregrown in a peptone-mineral salts medium that does not support aflatoxin synthesis. Sugars and derivatives of sugars supported widely varying amounts of aflatoxin production. Amino acids and tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates except aspartate and malate, respectively, did not appear to support de novo aflatoxin synthesis. Embden-Meyerhoff pathway intermediates prior to, but not after, 3-phosphoglycerate supported aflatoxin synthesis.
