In soil environments (brown soils formed on loess and loess-like deposits) occupied by specialized crop rotations (no. 1 - maize, sugar beet, barley, clover; no. 2 - winter wheat, winter wheat, maize, winter wheat) the author found toxin-producing fungi of the genus Aspergillus, Penicillium, Helminthosporium, Monosporium, Acremonium, Arachniotus, Mortierella, Pullularia and Verticillium, possessing specific aptitudes to degrade the aflatoxins B1; B2; G1; g2. The author demonstrated in experiments made in vitro that the output of the degradation process ranging between 16.3% and 89% depended on the metabolic properties of the separate strains of microorganisms, the number of cells, and the duration of the culture growth
