Abstract :

The current study included the isolation and diagnosis of contaminated fungi of wheat grains collected from the Iraqi provinces covered by the agricultural plan for growing season of 2015 and the detection of ability of fungi to produce aflatoxin B1. The results showed the existence of five different species of fungi, which were diagnosed after their development on the media. These species were belonged to Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus parasiticus, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium spp., Trichoderma spp., Mucor spp., Fusarium spp. The occurrence and frequency percentage of fungi in the local A. flavus and A. parasiticus were significantly higher (p <0.05) in the provinces of Dohuk, Sulaymaniyah, Kirkuk, Karbala, Dhi Qar and Missan in comparison with other studied governorates. A.parasiticus did not register any appearance in the province of Muthanna. However, the occurrence of A. flavus have exceeded in the same provinces mentions above, which reached 14.28% and it did not register any appearance in the holy Karbala. In terms of frequency ratio, Dahuk governorate was significantly higher with 46.66% for A. parasiticus, while A. flavus had the highest value in Baghdad governorate (42.79%). The ability of isolates (A.flavus and A. parasiticus) to produced Afatoxin B1 was detected by using ammonia vapor and ultraviolet radiation and the results were 92.59 and 60.97%, respectively.
