title: [Mitochondria aberration of Aspergillus flavus under citral stress circumstance].
abstract: Observation of mitochondrion in Aspergillus flavus damaged by citral under uransmission electron microscope, it was found that mitochondria had changes on number increase and shape aberrance as hyperplasia or hypertrophy, which resulted from the DNA replication system in mitochondria was damaged by citral. From the data that free radical in A. flavus which were determined by MDA method, it was showed that citral damaged mitochondria via induced free radical, which affected oxidation-reduction system and energy metabolism.
