The Department of Biology discusses a PhD Thesis on the Phenotypic and Molecular Characterization of Isolates of Fungi Associated with Nuts and Grains that Produce Aflatoxin B1 and the possibility of employing Bacillus subtilus in reducing its toxicity

Ph.D. Dissertation Discussion

The Department of Life Sciences in the College of Education for Pure Sciences at the University of Karbala discussed a doctoral dissertation entitled (Physical and molecular characterization of isolates of fungi associated with nuts and grains producing aflatoxin B1 and the possibility of employing Bacillus subtilus in reducing its toxicity) by the student (Doaa Fayeq Ali), and under the supervision of (Prof. Dr. That Moses is good).
The thesis aimed to isolate and identify fungi associated with local grains and nuts in Karbala, producing aflatoxin B1, and to evaluate the efficiency of Bacillus subtilis in destroying the toxin externally and internally. The thesis included the methods and methods of storing grains that were not within the conditions that must be provided for storage, so the isolation results showed that these grains were contaminated with various fungi and their mycotoxins. , and the prevalence and dominance of Aspergillus spp by 99% in all types of local cereals.
The thesis recommended the treatment of grains stored in commercial stores with a bacterial bio-preparation to prevent contamination and infection with fungi, i.e. it is used as a preservative, and a separate study of bacterial enzymes to know their effective roles on each side. The student obtained an honors degree.
