Modeling Reveals the Role of Aging and Glucose Uptake Impairment in L1A1 Listeria monocytogenes Biofilm Life Cycle.

abstract：:Aflatoxins (AF) are highly detrimental to human and animal health. We recently demonstrated that the Aspergillus flavus caleosin, AfPXG, had peroxygenase activity and mediated fungal development and AF accumulation. We now report the characterization of an AfPXG-deficient line using reference strain NRRL3357. The resu...
