Light-Irradiation Wavelength and Intensity Changes Influence Aflatoxin Synthesis in Fungi

Fungi respond to light irradiation by forming conidia and occasionally synthesizing mycotoxins. Several light wavelengths, such as blue and red, affect the latter. However, the relationship between light irradiation and mycotoxin synthesis varies depending on the fungal species or strain. This study...
