Abstract
Methods for inhibiting fungal secondary metabolisms are described. Secondary metabolisms inhibited by the methods can include those responsible for expression of mycotoxins such as aflatoxin. Methods can include inhibition of aflatoxin production without inhibiting fungal growth by contacting a fungus with a suspension including silver nanoparticles that can include a surface coating. The methods can be utilized in preventing fungal-caused destruction of plant species (e.g., crop species). Disclosed methods encompass utilization of silver nanoparticles at low concentrations of from about 10 picograms per liter to about 1 microgram per liter.
