Information:
<- ATCC <- RI Mateles<-Tropical Products Inst. strain TPI. Type strain of A. parasiticus var. globosus. Produces versiconel acetate, aflatoxin B1, G1,B2, G2. Transforms sesquiterpene lactone costunolide. Converts averufin into aflatoxins. Converts (14C) sterigmatocystin into aflatoxin B1 Challenge organism for testing inhibition of mycotoxin production with dialkyl enol phosphate. Produces 4,4-dihydroxybiphenyl.
