The addition of some halogenated alkanes (bromotrichloromethane, carbontetrachloride and chloroform) to cultures of A. parasiticus and A. flavus have shown a high stimulating effect on aflatoxin biosynthesis. When the production of aflatoxin increases during the stimulating effect the peroxidase activity is inhibited. © 1984 Birkhäuser Verlag Basel
