Antifungal mechanisms of volatile organic compounds and lactic acid produced by Lactiplantibacillus pentosus and their biocontrol application in fresh corn against Fusarium graminearum.
Fusarium graminearum causes cereal spoilage and mycotoxin production. Currently, biocontrol microorganisms have emerged as a safe and promising strategy to manage the contamination of toxin-producing fungi in cereal grains. The primary objective was to elucidate the antifungal mechanism of an isolated strain of Lactipl...
