A total of 86 strains of Aspergillus flavus isolated from home·made fermented foodstuffs, were cultured on steamed rice and the productivity of aflatoxin was studied by flurorometry and thin layer chromotography, using an aflatoxin producing strain ATCC 17715 as the control. Seven strains of the tested 86 strains of Asp.flavus produced aflatoxins to some degree on the medium. Two strains produced 4 kinds aflatoxins, B1, B2, G1 and G2, as the control strain did, while the other 5 strains produced the B group of aflatoxins only.
