HIGHLIGHTS

Organic acids enter into mold cells in undissociated form, ionize and acidify cells' internal environment. Active transport of some nutrients, especially amino acids, depends on pH differential between a cell's internal and external environments. This is disrupted when pH of the internal environment changes. As a result, protein synthesis is inhibited resulting in reduced ability of mold cells to survive and multiply.
