Really good article overall. A few minor modifications in my opinion would be maybe expanding on the 'edible caterpillar' topic and the history. Also, replacing the word'foodstuff' to food products?? the last sections on human effects and industrial use was good. Tanha Mahmud (talk) 03:55, 2 November 2013 (UTC)

good reference on Aspergillus ochraceus
You should check out this issue of Studies in Mycology that has some good information on A. ochraceus. Medmyco (talk) 00:16, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Good job. Here are a couple of additional references that may be helpful:


 * Barron (1977)
 * Domsch et al. (1993)


 * Citation

Hi there, hope you don't mind me giving feedback on your article. Your article has a lot of interesting information. I would add a section which includes physical characteristics of your fungus like how it reproduces or the appearance and features such as the hyphae or spores if it applies to your fungus. Other than that I think your article is good! Mmanuba (talk) 23:37, 31 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi here are some of my suggestions,

- "Significant lose in nutritive value and hazardous effect on the food chain are caused due to the same OTA toxin contamination in barley grains of Spain"  I think it is "loss" also "...due to the same OTA toxin contamination in barley..." maybe change contamination to contaminated?

- in "industrial use" section, "The process of fermentation, was found to be..." maybe no comma after fermentation.

- For "effects of human consumption" maybe you can group the descriptions on allergy development and "allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis" after description of asthma in children because they are kind of similar, and then go on to talk about renal failure.

Great article.

Nice job with the clearly defined subheadings. I would, however, try to refrain from excessive use of quotation marks throughout the piece. They seem a little misplaced if the references support the information anyway. Also in the "Industrial use" section, I found the sentence to be a bit of a run-on. I would suggest to maybe break it down into a few sentences and start by talking about your species first to maintain the focus of the paragraph. Something like "A. ochraceus is found to convert Xanthohumol, a compound with anticancer properties, into a stronger antioxidant." Otherwise, great job so far and keep up the good work!

Hi! Thanks for the comments! Overall, I find your article to be well put together and contains a lot of interesting information! One thing though: maybe you can expand a little on the Animal studies section? It seems to be a little random with only one sentence there. Good job! :)
