We consider an irreversible autocatalytic conversion reaction A+B -> 2A under subdiffusion described by continuous time random walks. The reactants' transformations take place independently on their motion and are described by constant rates. The analog of this reaction in the case of normal diffusion is described by the Fisher-Kolmogorov-Petrovskii-Piskunov (FKPP) equation leading to the existence of a nonzero minimal front propagation velocity which is really attained by the front in its stable motion. We show that for subdiffusion this minimal propagation velocity is zero, which suggests propagation failure.
