The Inhibitory Effect of Validamycin A on Aspergillus flavus

Figure 2

Aspergillus flavus utilizes trehalose as a sole carbon source similar to glucose. (a) Aspergillus flavus ATCC 204304 was incubated at 37°C on glucose peptone, trehalose peptone, and peptone alone media. The radial growth of these fungal growths was measured on the second day of incubation. Data are presented as means ± SE from three biological replicates. value < 0.05; value < 0.01 (one-way ANOVA with post hoc Bonferroni’s test). (b) Aspergillus flavus ATCC 204304 was incubated at 37°C on glucose peptone, trehalose peptone, and peptone alone liquid media for 24 hours, and viability tests using XTT assays were performed. Data are presented as means ± SE from three biological replicates. value < 0.05 (one-way ANOVA with post hoc Bonferroni’s test).
