Abstract
A silk (stigmas) extract of hybrid A-791 of maize was added to synthetic culture, evaluating its effect on growth, sporulation and synthesis of micotoxins of Aspergillus parasiticus ATCC 16992 and A. nidulans FGSC-26. It was observed a stimulatory effect in growth of both fungi and sporulation of on the first, contrasting with inhibiting effect in the synthesis of afl atoxins of A. parasiticus and stimulatory in the sterigmatocystin of A. nidulans. Results suggest the presence of compound in stigmas fresh of maize that stimulate the growth and sporulation of A. parasiticus, but inhibit the aflatoxins synthesis.
