Ethanol Inhibits Aflatoxin B1 Biosynthesis in Aspergillus flavus by Up-Regulating Oxidative Stress-Related Genes
As the most carcinogenic, toxic, and economically costly mycotoxins, aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is primarily biosynthesized by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. Aflatoxin biosynthesis is related to oxidative stress and functions as a second line of defense from excessive reactive oxygen speci...
