Method for the control or prevention of aflatoxin contamination using a non-toxigenic strain of Aspergillus flavus

摘要

Methods and compositions are provided for the control or prevention of aflatoxin contamination of agricultural commodities. Non- toxigenic strains of Aspergillus flavus are shown to inhibit aflatoxin production by toxigenic strains. Additionally, the non-toxigenic strains produce a factor in culture that alone inhibits aflatoxin production by toxigenic strains.
