- 16. Mycotoxins of economic,health and agricultural significance Mycotoxins are metabolic products of food spoilage fungi that induce toxic responses when consumed by animals or people. Hundreds of mycotoxins have been identified; They will fall into many different chemical classes, and induce a wide variety of toxic responses.

From left to right beginning in the upper left corner to the lower right corner with a liver from a guinea pig given the greatest dose of aflatoxins. Note the increasingly pale livers with increasing dose of aflatoxins. Photograph courtesy of J.L. Richard, USDA, ARS, National Animal Disease Center, Ames, Iowa.
- 24. Aflatoxin B1 Courtesy ofD.P.H. Hsieh, University of California, Davis. Drawing by G. Hedberg, USDA, ARS, National Animal Disease Center, Ames, Iowa. Aflatoxin B1 binds to DNA at the guanine base in liver cells, corrupting the genetic code that regulates cell growth. Out-of-control cells grow into tumors that eventually become cancerous.
