Growth behavior of selected Aspergillus flavus isolates under H₂O₂-induced oxidative stress in 1% carbon source yeast extract-sucrose (YES) and yeast extract-peptone (YEP) media. Isolates AF13, NRRL3357, Aflaguard, and K54A were cultured in 1% carbon source media and photographed for observation of their growth behavior in response to increasing H₂O₂ concentrations. Increased conidiation was observed from 5 to 15 mM with concentrations >15 mM resulting in reduced conidiation. Reduced growth and conidiation in YEP is likely due to reduced energy availability of carbohydrate.
