By taking advantage of the intrinsic fluorescence of ochratoxin A (OTA), we present a fluorescence anisotropy approach for rapid analysis of the interactions between OTA and aptamers. The specific binding of OTA with a 36-mer aptamer can induce increased fluorescence

The ochratoxin A (OTA) polyketide synthase otapks gene has been cloned from Penicillium verrucosum. A P. verrucosum mutant in which the otapksPV gene has been interrupted cannot synthesize ochratoxin A. The protein is most similar to the citrinin polyketide synthase
A reliable exposure assessment of mycotoxin contamination relies on their unambiguous identification and accurate quantification. With such purpose, a new analytical methodology was developed for evaluation of ochratoxin A (OTA) contamination in pork. Briefly OTA extraction from minced muscle samples
