Four fungal strains, namely, Aspergillus niger, Eurotium herbariorum, a Rhizopus sp., and non-aflatoxin (AF)-producing Aspergillus flavus, which could convert AF-B1 to aflatoxicol (AFL), could also reconvert AFL to AF-B1. The interconversion of AF-B1 to AFL and of AFL to AF-B1 was ascertained to occur during proliferation of the fungi. These reactions were distinctly observed in cell-free systems obtained from disrupted mycelia of A. flavus and the Rhizopus sp., but they were not observed in culture filtrates from intact (nondisrupted) mycelia of the same strains. The interconversion activities of AF-B1 and AFL were not observed when the cell-free systems were preheated at 100.degree. C. These findings strongly suggest that the interconversion of AF-B1 and AFL is mediated by intracellular enzymes of A. flavus and the Rhizopus sp. In addition, the isomerization of AFL-A to AFL-B observed in culture medium was also found to occur by the lowering of the culture pH.
