Degeneration of aflatoxin gene clusters in Aspergillus flavus from Africa and North America by Adhikari, B.N., Bandyopadhyay, Ranajit, Cotty, P.J.

“…In order to identify mechanisms of non-aflatoxigenicity in non-aflatoxigenic genotypes of value in aflatoxin biocontrol, complete cluster sequences of 35 A. flavus genotypes from Africa and North America were analyzed. Inability of some genotypes to produce aflatoxin resulted from deletion of biosynthesis genes. …”
