Detection of aflatoxinogenic Aspergillus species in Bosnian sudzuk

Detection of aflatoxinogenic Aspergillus species in Bosnian sudzuk

The objective of the present study was to investigate the presence of Aspergillus species in Bosnian sudžuk, the most preferred dry sausage in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and evaluate their aflatoxigenic potential. A total of 145 bulk and vacuum packed samples of Bosnian sudžuk were collected from retai...

In total, four and seven A. flavus and A. parasiticus were isolated, respectively, while one or more genes responsible for biosynthesis of aflatoxins (nor-1, ver-1, omt-1 and apa-2) were detected in eight isolates.
