<title>Aflatoxins: Biosynthesis And Methods Of Biological Control </title>
<abstract>Aflatoxins, the naturally occurring mycotoxins are produced by many species of Aspergillus, a fungus, especially  lessThan i greaterThan Aspergillus flavus lessThan /i greaterThan  and  lessThan i greaterThan Aspergillus parasiticus lessThan /i greaterThan . They lessThan i greaterThan   lessThan /i greaterThan contaminate several food commodities including cereals, peanuts and crops. Being highly toxic and carcinogenic in nature, the aflatoxins are reported to be involved in various health complications including liver cancer. This review presents the detailed discussion of aflatoxin production and various biological control methods of them so that their lethal effects could be minimized.</abstract>
