| Abstract | Sterigmatocystin (ST) is a mycotoxin produced by different species of molds that can grow and contaminate some foods such as dry-ripened foods, cereals, and spices. To improve food safety, the presence of ST-producing molds in foods should be quantified. In the present work, two real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) protocols based on SYBR Green and TaqMan were developed. Twenty-eight ST-producing and non-producing strains belonging to different species usually reported in food products were used. The ST production of the reference strains was checked by micellar electrokinetic capillary electrophoresis and high-performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry. For development of the qPCR methods, a primer pair (FluGF1/FluGR1) and a TaqMan probe (FluGp) were designed on the basis of fluG gene, involved in the ST biosynthesis. The presence of fungal DNA was tested by using a qPCR method based on the universal fungal β-tubulin gene. The functionality of the developed method was demonstrated by the high linear relationship of the standard curves constructed with the fluG gene copies number and Ct values for the different ST producers tested. The ability to quantify ST producers of the developed SYBR Green and TaqMan assays in different artificially inoculated food samples and naturally infected samples was successful, with a minimum detection limit of 1 log cfu/g. In conclusion, both qPCR methods developed allow quantifying ST-producing molds, in raw materials/ingredients and pre-processed foods, which they would be very useful for monitoring these toxigenic molds in HACCP programs, to prevent ST accumulation in processed foods. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
