    Author: CHANG SB, ABDEL-KADER MM, WICK EL, WOGAN GN.
    Journal: Science; 1963 Nov 29; 142(3596):1191-2. PubMed ID: 14072177.
    Abstract:
    Aflatoxin B(2), a blue-fluorescent metabolite of Aspergillus flavus, was isolated from cultures grown on crushed wheat. Chemical structure of the compound was elucidated as dihydroaflatoxin B(1). Biological activity was determined in day-old male white Pekin ducklings. The criteria of activity were reduction in growth and liver size and the extent of bile-duct hyperplasia.
