We study effects of interaction symmetry in one-dimensional, momentum-conserving disordered lattices. It is found that asymmetric and symmetric interparticle interactions may result in significant difference: localized modes can be delocalized by very weak asymmetric interactions but survive much stronger symmetric interactions. Moreover, in the delocalization regime, asymmetric and symmetric interactions also have qualitatively different effects on transport: the former (the latter) may lead to a fast decaying (slow power-law decaying) heat current correlation function and in turn a convergent (divergent) heat conductivity. A method for detecting delocalization in systems at a nonzero temperature is proposed as well.
