Pathogenicity and toxigenicity towards aquatic and terrestrial organisms are major effects of concern regarding the widespread environmental introduction of a micro-organism. |
It should be noted that the mouse toxigenicity bioassay requires up to 4 days to complete. |
Not surprisingly, SNPs are also more abundant in non-aflatoxigenic genotypes than toxigenic genotypes as expected if purifying selection is maintaining toxigenicity. |
Molecular methods for the determination of toxigenicity are being developed. |
The known genetic basis for the traits of pathogenicity to non-human species, toxigenicity, and resistance to antibiotics should be provided. |
This, coupled with the toxigenicity of the fungi, has made them the focus of much attention. |
