Application and Evaluation of the Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification assay for the Detection of Aflatoxigenic Fungi Contaminants of Rice Grains in Kenya
Author(s): Youmma Douksouna*, Allan Ole Kwallah, Andrew Nyerere, Steven Runo and Zachée Ambang
Aflatoxigenic fungi are most common filamentous fungi that synthesis aflatoxins and represent the major fungal pathogens to agricultural products. Aflatoxins remain a major threat to global food security, these molecules could be resisted into food during processing and in additional may remain within the food chain. Aflatoxins are carcinogenic, hepatotoxic, mutagenic, teratogenic, can inhibit numerous metabolic systems and immunosuppressive properties. Studies of aflatoxigenic strains can help to enhance strategies control and prevent aflatoxigenic fungi contamination and aflatoxins production in foodstuffs. In this study, isolation of Aspergillus species was based on morphological characteristics including the mycelium growth pattern, color, and properties of fruiting bodies of the fungi. The innovated technique loop-mediated isothermal amplification assa.. View more»
