Aspergillus Flavus

Aspergillus flavus is a saprotrophic and pathogenic fungus.It has the potential to infect seedlings by sporulation on injured seeds. In grains, the pathogen can seize seed embryos and cause infection, which decreases germination and can lead to infected seeds planted in the field.  It is an extremely common soil fungus. The major concern with this fungus in agriculture is that it produces highly carcinogenic toxins called aflatoxins which are a health hazard to animals.It causes significant losses in corn, peanuts, cottonseed, and tree nuts. This flavus is also a pathogen of animals and insects. Contamination with aflatoxin, a toxic and carcinogenic compound, can occur when the fungus grows on food sources.This species is known primarily for its ability to produce a potent toxin and carcinogen known as aflatoxin. Aflatoxin is known to contaminate many types of crop seeds, but in the field it is predominantly problematic for maize, peanuts, cotton seed, and tree nuts.
