Aflatoxins are the
family of mycotoxins that are related by the presence
of bisfurancoumarin  compounds. They are
probably the best know and most intensively researched mycotoxins
in the world. They are named so because they were first isolated from the
fungus Aspergillus flavus.

Recent research has found out thar under specific
conditions some strains of Aspergillus oryzae and Aspergillus parasiticus also have the ability to produce toxins. They
are designated as B and G series because of their fluoresce
green yellow.
