| They produce lots of toxins, called mycotoxins, which can contaminate our food. |
|
| Numerous other species of mold and mildew are also toxic, and many mycotoxins are known carcenogens. |
|
| Many molds are capable of producing compounds called mycotoxins which are toxic to other organisms, including people. |
|
| One family of mycotoxins, the aflatoxins, are carcinogenic and immunotoxic and cause growth retardation in animals. |
|
| With this in mind, the inactivation of mycotoxins in the body should parallel aspects of xenobiotic detoxification. |
|
| In essence, the multiple mechanisms of potential damage from mycotoxins are not unlike those of many xenobiotics. |
|
| More importantly, investigators have found that airborne Stachybotrys spores are highly respirable, and they contain trichothecene mycotoxins. |
|
| Diets for gilts and the breeding herd should contain the better quality feed grains, free from spoilage, molds, and mycotoxins. |
|
| However, from the mycological standpoint, antibiotics are considered mycotoxins since they too are generated by mold to ward off microorganisms. |
|
| The insect-resistance gene discourages the build up of mycotoxins, potentially dangerous toxins that are probable human carcinogens, in corn. |
|
| Rarely, some molds produce toxic substances called mycotoxins. |
|
| Infection with mycotoxins is most common on grains damaged by insects, birds, mites, hail, early frost, heat and drought stress, windstorms, and other unfavorable weather. |
|
| As someone with a background in microbiology, I am well aware of the various bacteria, mycotoxins and other natural but detrimental elements that may be found in our food. |
|
| The book includes a range of food pathogens, from bacteria and viruses to mycotoxins. |
|
| There is also evidence that exposure to mycotoxins can cause lung cancer, acute or chronic nervous system damage, and endocrine effects. |
|
| Some penicilliums can produce unsavory mycotoxins like ochratoxin, but many others seem to be benign. |
|
| Most tremorgenic mycotoxins are synthesized by common saprophytic moulds of the genera Penicillium and Aspergillus. |
|
| Other mycotoxins include trichothecenes and zearalenone, compounds known to injure the intestines, bone marrow, lymph nodes, spleen, and thymus. |
|
| The outbreak was apparently caused by mycotoxins called trichothecenes, which include deoxynivalenol. |
|
| Many fungi produce biologically active compounds, several of which are toxic to animals or plants and are therefore called mycotoxins. |
|
|
|
| They may subsequently grow on processed tea ingredients and in some cases synthesise mycotoxins. |
|
| Many species produce bioactive compounds called mycotoxins, such as alkaloids and polyketides, that are toxic to animals including humans. |
|
| The new laboratories, at Geel, in Belgium, will test for heavy metals, mycotoxins and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, all key food health concerns. |
|
| For fungi, mycotoxins protect their food supplies from competing microorganisms, including bacteria, and the mycotoxin penicillin has saved countless human lives. |
|
| But, according to many experts, the little information gathered so far fails to support arguments that mold mycotoxins pose a health danger in homes and offices. |
|
| The most common mycotoxins for corn, wheat, bran and protein meals include aflatoxin, vomitoxin, zearalenone, T-2 mycotoxin, fumitremorgin and ochratoxin. |
|
| Mycotoxins commonly found in grains or feeds used in Nebraska are aflatoxins, ergot alkaloids, fumonisins, vomitoxin and zearalenone. |
