Transient transmembrane secretion of H2O2: a mechanism for the citral-caused inhibition of aflatoxin production from Aspergillus flavus†
Abstract
A polydopamine–Fe3O4 nanocomposite-based H2O2 electrochemical sensor is fabricated to real-time monitor the transmembrane release of reactive oxygen species from citral-treated Aspergillus flavus, revealing a mechanism involving transient transmembrane secretion of H2O2 for the citral-caused inhibition of aflatoxin production from a fungus for the first time.
