Abstract
The role of blastospores in the protection of Aspergillus parasiticus from high levels of aflatoxins was studied. The strain protects itself from aflatoxicity by forming thick-walled blastospores. The formation of blastospores was not observed under conditions of reduced aflatoxin formation, e.g., under zinc and asparagine deficiencies. The germination of blastospores coincided with an increase in the specific activity of glutamate dehydrogenase (NADP) and a simultaneous decrease in the specific aflatoxin production.
