OK, I pulled up the water-damaged particle board and scrubbed the 2x6's =
with clorox and let it dry. I want to be sure that no mold comes back =
-- is it OK to coat the 2x6's with a sealer?

Sealer probably wont help, you have to stop the cause, excessive
moisture.

Just a thought…

Mold spores cannot be eliminated but we can get rid of it with
the
following steps:
•        keep your house clean and dry
•        observe proper
ventilation and good lighting
•         If possible, keep humidity in your house below
50% by using an air
conditioner or dehumidifier.
•        Fix any water problems
immediately
•        Clean mold off non-porous surfaces with a weak solution of bleach
and water.
Of course when cleaning mold, DO NOT FORGET to protect yourself by
wearing long sleeves, pants, shoes, and rubber gloves, as well as
goggles and a
facemask.

Cheers!
