Antifungal properties of Zinc‐compounds against toxigenic fungi and mycotoxin

Summary Antifungal and antimycotoxin properties of zinc (Zn) compounds were evaluated against toxigenic strains of Fusarium graminearum , Penicillium citrinum and Aspergillus flavus . In addition, was verified the activity of these Zn‐compounds on conidia production, hyphae morphological alterations, mortality and reactive oxygen species ( ROS ) production. The Zn‐compounds treatments utilised were zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO‐ NP s), zinc...
