Metabarcoding Insights Into the Trophic Behavior and Identity of Intertidal Benthic Foraminifera.

abstract：:Aspergillus flavus is the main producer of carcinogenic aflatoxins in agricultural commodities such as maize. This fungus occurs naturally on crops, and produces aflatoxins when environmental conditions are favorable. The aim of this study is to analyse the genetic variability among 109 A. flavus isolates previously r...
