[Effect of patulin of RNA and protein synthesis in vitro]
Abstract
Patulin, a mycotoxin isolated from cultures of Byssochlamis nivea, alters the transcriptional and translational processes. Using cell-free systems derived from procaryotic and mammalian cells, we have studied the mechanism of the mycotoxin-induced inhibition of in vitro RNA and protein syntheses.
