Use of killer toxins for computer-aided differentiation of Candida albicans strains.

abstract：:In Argentina, there is rather little information about the natural occurrence of mycotoxins in feedstuffs. The aim of this work was to determine the fungal flora and natural incidence of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), zearalenone (ZEA) and deoxynivalenol (DON) in poultry feeds from 5 factories of Río Cuarto, Córdoba. Three hund...
