In the present study, a method for screening non-aflatoxigenicAspergillus flavus in soil samples collected from major peanut-growing regions of China was developed. The single colonies were picked and cultured onAspergillus flavus andparasiticus agar (AFPA). If the reverse side of the colony on AFPA was orange-coloured, it was consideredA. flavus orAspergillus parasiticus. After the genomic DNA of each strain was extracted, 28S rRNA and calmodulin were amplified and sequenced to determine the species. The key gene,aflR, was amplified and digested via polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The aflatoxigenicA. flavus and the non-aflatoxigenicA. flavus andA. parasiticus were distinguished by enzyme digestion ofaflR. 156 strains ofA. flavus were screened, which consisted of 135 aflatoxigenic and 21 non-aflatoxigenic strains. The aflatoxin producing ability of each strain was confirmed using solid-state fermentation experiments. Using the method developed in the present study, we confirmed that the non-aflatoxigenicA. flavus strains isolated lost their capacity to produce aflatoxins. Considering there could be some alterations in other functional genes, some non-aflatoxigenic strains could be identified inaccurately as aflatoxigenic strains, although that did not occur in the present study. The growth of non-aflatoxigenicA. flavus was observed, and the most rapidly growing non-aflatoxigenic strain was selected for plate confrontation assays and toxic mixed culture experiments. The inhibition rate of non-aflatoxigenicA. flavus against aflatoxigenicA. flavus was 55.4 and 72.6% in potato dextrose agar (PDA) plate and natural soybean medium, respectively. The screened non-aflatoxigenicA. flavus strains provide a microbial resource for biological control of aflatoxin contamination.

In the present study, a method for screening non-aflatoxigenicAspergillus flavus in soil samples collected from major peanut-growing regions of China was developed. The single colonies were picked and cultured onAspergillus flavus andparasiticus agar (AFPA). If the reverse side of the colony on AFPA was orange-coloured, it was consideredA. flavus orAspergillus parasiticus. After the genomic DNA of each strain was extracted, 28S rRNA and calmodulin were amplified and sequenced to determine the species. The key gene,aflR, was amplified and digested via polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. The aflatoxigenicA. flavus and the non-aflatoxigenicA. flavus andA. parasiticus were distinguished by enzyme digestion ofaflR. 156 strains ofA. flavus were screened, which consisted of 135 aflatoxigenic and 21 non-aflatoxigenic strains. The aflatoxin producing ability of each strain was confirmed using solid-state fermentation experiments. Using the method developed in the present study, we confirmed that the non-aflatoxigenicA. flavus strains isolated lost their capacity to produce aflatoxins. Considering there could be some alterations in other functional genes, some non-aflatoxigenic strains could be identified inaccurately as aflatoxigenic strains, although that did not occur in the present study. The growth of non-aflatoxigenicA. flavus was observed, and the most rapidly growing non-aflatoxigenic strain was selected for plate confrontation assays and toxic mixed culture experiments. The inhibition rate of non-aflatoxigenicA. flavus against aflatoxigenicA. flavus was 55.4 and 72.6% in potato dextrose agar (PDA) plate and natural soybean medium, respectively. The screened non-aflatoxigenicA. flavus strains provide a microbial resource for biological control of aflatoxin contamination.
