Approach for quick exploration of highly effective broad-spectrum biocontrol strains based on PO8 protein inhibition

M. Gu, J. Fu, et al.

Aflatoxin contamination is a serious concern in our food supply. This innovative research by Mei Gu, Jiayun Fu, Honglin Yan, Xiaofeng Yue, Shancang Zhao, Qi Zhang, and Peiwu Li presents a groundbreaking strategy for identifying aflatoxin biocontrol strains through the inhibition of the PO8 protein, achieving up to 90% effectiveness in controlling aflatoxin production. Discover how this method could transform food safety.

Abstract
Aflatoxin contamination in food poses a significant threat. This paper presents a novel strategy for screening aflatoxin biocontrol strains by inhibiting the PO8 protein, an early warning molecule for aflatoxin production. Four biocontrol strains were selected and combined, resulting in over 90% aflatoxin inhibition in various *A. flavus* strains and 50-80% inhibition in field experiments. This approach offers a promising method for developing aflatoxin control agents.
