Culturable filamentous fungi isolated from apparently healthy Nile tilapia and targeted screening of aflatoxin biosynthesis-associated genes in representative Aspergillus isolates
Nature ·
The Brief
- Researchers isolated culturable filamentous fungi from apparently healthy Nile tilapia.
- The study included targeted screening of aflatoxin biosynthesis-associated genes in representative Aspergillus isolates.
- The article is listed in a nature.com subject feed dated 2026-11-10; no summary was provided in the source.
Why it matters
The work documents fungi carried by farmed fish and checks whether Aspergillus isolates carry genes linked to aflatoxin production, which bears on food safety for aquaculture products.
