Abstract

The addition of tribromo-, tetrabromo- and chloromethanes to cultures of strongly stimulated aflatoxin biosynthesis. The presence of phenobarbital in the cultures enhanced this effect. Following the addition of CC1 to a culture, after 15 d incubation, 8·6% of the total radioactivity was recovered from the mycelium, and 4·7% from the culture filtrate. Some 0·4% of the total radioactivity was found in microsomes, indicating their involvement in CC1 activation and biotransformation.
