  2. 1. Controlling Fusarium Head Blight in oat

    Author : Alfia Khairullina; Tillämpad biokemi; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; FHB; oat; UDP-glucosyltransferase; deoxynivalenol; mycotoxins; biocontrol; Clonostachys rosea; Fusarium head blight; Fusarium graminearum; endophytes;

    Abstract : Oats (Avena sativa) is a versatile crop grown worldwide for animal feed and human consumption. Humanoat consumption has recently risen due to its various health benefits. However, oats are susceptible toFusarium head blight (FHB) caused by various Fusarium fungi. FHB reduces yield and leads to mycotoxinaccumulation. READ MORE

  4. 2. Development of methods for determining aflatoxins in biological material

    Author : Anders Kussak; Rainer Stephany; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Aflatoxins; Mycotoxins; Carcinogen; Airborne dust; Urine; Feed factories; Immunoaffinity extraction; Solid-phase extraction; Post-column derivatization; Electrospray; Mass spectrometry;

    Abstract : In this thesis, it is shown how aflatoxins can be determined in biological material. The thesis is a summary of five papers.Aflatoxins are carcinogenic mycotoxins produced by Aspergillus moulds. Methods were developed for the determination of aflatoxins in samples of airborne dust and human urine collected at feed factories. READ MORE

  5. 3. Fungal DNA, Mould, Dampness and Allergens in Schools and Day Care Centers and Respiratory Health

    Author : Guihong Cai; Dan Norbäck; Christer Janson; Nils Åberg; Uppsala universitet; []

  7. 5. Mycotoxins in indoor environments. Determination using mass spectrometry

    Author : Erica Bloom; Avdelningen för medicinsk mikrobiologi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Gas chromatography; Mass spectrometry; Mycotoxin; Indoor Air; Ergosterol.; Mold; High pressure liquid chromatography; Dust; Building materials;

    Abstract : Dampness in indoor environments may cause various health problems. The specific causative agent(s) are unknown but may originate from degradation processes in damp materials, microbial growth, or a combination of these phenomena. The health impact of dampness in buildings is a politically, legally, and economically important question. READ MORE
