Sub3 inhibits <i>Aspergillus flavus</i> growth by disrupting mitochondrial energy metabolism, and has potential biocontrol during peanut storage

Abstract

Sub3 likely inhibits A. flavus by crossing the cell wall and targeting the cell membrane, disrupting mitochondrial energy metabolism, and inducing DNA damage, leading to spore death. Thus, Sub3 may provide a useful biocontrol strategy to control A. flavus growth in peanuts. © 2020 Society of Chemical Industry.
