Microbiological detoxification of mycotoxins: Focus on Mechanisms and Advances. Infect Disord Drug Targets. 2020 Jun 16;: Authors: Abdi M, Asadi A, Maleki F, Kouhsari E, Fattahi A, Ohadi E, Lotfali E, Ahmadi A, Ghafouri Z Abstract Some fungal species of the genera Aspergillus, Penicillium, and Fusarium secretes toxic metabolites known as mycotoxins, has become a global concern that is toxic to different species of animals and humans. Biological mycotoxins detoxification has been studied by researchers around the world as a new strategy for the mycotoxin removal. Bacteria, fungi, yeast, molds, and protozoa are the main living organisms appropriate for the mycotoxin detoxification. Enzymatic and degradation sorption are the main mechanisms involved in microbiological detoxification of mycotoxins. Regardless of the method used, proper management tools that consist of before-harvest prevention and after-harvest detoxification, are required. Here, in this review we focus on the microbiological detoxification, and mechanisms involved in decontamination of mycotoxins. PMID: 32543365 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
