  • Title: [Effect of aflatoxin B1 on the enzymatic activities of Bacillus thuringiensis (Berliner)].
    Author: Boutibonnes P.
    Journal: Can J Microbiol; 1977 Jul; 23(7):931-2. PubMed ID: 884628.
    Abstract:
    At 20 degrees C, aflatoxin B1, at a sublethal dose, decreases the activity of alkaline phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.1), alpha-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20), esterase (EC 3.1.1.1), chymotrypsin (EC 3.4.21.1), leucine aminopeptidase (EC 3.4.11.1), and phosphoamidase (EC 3.9.1.1) biosynthesis in Bacillus thuringiensis (Berliner). In contrast, at 41 degrees C no significant decrease was observed. At this temperature, the mycotoxin is not destroyed or metabolized and bacterial cells are resistant to the toxin.
