Abstract

The fluorescence method of detecting aflatoxin-producing strains of Aspergillus flavus and related species utilizes the ultraviolet-induced fluorescence of aflatoxin produced in a modified Czapek's solution agar containing corn steep liquor, HgCl 2 , and (NH 4 )H 2 PO 4 instead of NaNO 3 . The presence of aflatoxin is confirmed by thin-layer chromatography of CHCl 3 extracts of the fluorescing agar.
