AI Article Synopsis
Article Abstract
Possible relationships among cellular energy status and the induction and initiation of aflatoxin synthesis were studied by using replacement culture techniques in conjunction with aflatoxin-supporting and-nonsupporting media. Transcription and translation processes associated with the induction of aflatoxin synthesis occurred 3 to 6 and 6 to 10 h, respectively, after mycelia were transferred to glucose-containing media. From adenylate energy charge determinations and in situ 31P nuclear magnetic resonance analyses, a relationship between overall energy status and the induction or initiation of aflatoxin synthesis could not be identified; however, electron microscopic evaluations indicated that aflatoxin synthesis occurred in association with a glucose-mediated inactivation of mitochondria. The results suggest that aflatoxin synthesis is not regulated by the overall energy status of the fungal cell but may be controlled by the energy status of specific subcellular compartments.

Behaviour and Health Research Unit, Department of Public Health and Primary Care, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK.
Background: Overconsumption of food and consumption of any amount of alcohol increases the risk of non-communicable diseases. Calorie (energy) labelling is advocated as a means to reduce energy intake from food and alcoholic drinks. However, there is continued uncertainty about these potential impacts, with a 2018 Cochrane review identifying only a small body of low-certainty evidence.
