 Three atypical strains (B-1, B-2 and C strains) of Aspergillus flavus were isolated in maize field soils. The B-1 strain which formed abundant microsclerotia and showed high aflatoxin B1 producing ability was detected from about half of soil samples examined. The isolation frequency of it in the southern region was lower than that in other regions of Thailand. The B-2 and C strains produced B as well as G groups of aflatoxins. The distribution of the latter two strains in soils seemed to be limited.
