Aflatoxins are secondary fungal metabolites produced by<br />

toxigenic strains <strong>of</strong> Aspergillus flavus and A. parasiticus.<br />

The relationship between aflatoxin synthesis with<br />

glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity and microscopic<br />

morphology in A. parasiticus grown under different culture<br />

conditions has been investigated in order to find out the<br />

regulatory mechanism(s) <strong>of</strong> aflatoxin biosynthesis at<br />

cellular level. Aflatoxin formation was inhibited in A.<br />

parasiticus grown in the presence <strong>of</strong> various<br />

concentrations(1.56-50%, v/v) <strong>of</strong> aqueous neem leaf<br />

extract with a maximum about >90% at 50% concentration<br />
