Notes:
The effects of pyruvate, succinate, citrate, alpha-keto glutarate, fumarate, malate, lactate, and glycerol supplementation (0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 g/100 ml) on aflatoxin production by A. parasiticus NRRL 2999 were examined in synthetic and semi-synthetic media. Glycerol, lactate, and the 0.5 g/100 ml level of pyruvate stimulated production in the synthetic medium. At the 2.0 g/100 ml level, pyruvate, citrate, alpha-keto glutarate, fumarate, and malate inhibited aflatoxin accumulation in both media. With the exception of glycerol, all supplements stimulated sporulation and elevated the pH of the cultures.
