The Peroxygenase Activity of the Caleosin, AfPXG, Modulates the Biosynthesis of Aflatoxins and Their Trafficking and Extracellular Secretion via Lipid Droplets.

Aflatoxins (AF) are highly detrimental to human and animal health. We recently demonstrated that the caleosin, AfPXG, had peroxygenase activity and mediated fungal development and AF accumulation. We now report the characterization of an -deficient line using reference strain NRRL3357.
