From: Aspergillus flavus grown in peptone as the carbon source exhibits spore density- and peptone concentration-dependent aflatoxin biosynthesis

Figure 5

The density effect is present in all Aspergillus strains tested except A. flavus NRRL 3357. Strains of A. flavus NRRL 3357, A. parasiticus NRRL 2999 and A. nomius NRRL 13137 were tested for their density effects. Freshly prepared spores at the densities of 102 to 106 were cultured in GMS and PMS media and AF contents were analyzed by TLC after 3 days. Note no AF was produced in PMS media by A. flavus NRRL 3357. St: AF standards.
