Abstract

A strain of Aspergillus flavus producing aflatoxins B1, G1 and M1 was obtained. Aflatoxin M1 constitutes about 5% of the total amount of aflatoxins produced. Aflatoxin M1 was isolated from a crude chloroform extract and was identified by thin silica-gel layer chromatography (TLC), by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and spectral analysis.
