A strategy to reduce the deleterious effects of mycotoxins is to use dietary supplements that contain microorganisms that bind mycotoxins and diminish their gastrointestinal absorption. Novel strains were isolated from a Kefir culture and assessed for their mycotoxin adsorption and biotransformation ability. The most active strains were identified using DNA sequencing, and the stability of microorganism/mycotox...
A novel alternative for mycotoxins decontamination is the use of microorganisms that bind mycotoxins and reduce their gastrointestinal absorption. Lactic acid bacteria and yeasts were isolated from a Kefir culture and evaluated for their mycotoxin adsorption and biotransformation ability. Strains with high binding ability were identified based on DNA sequenci ng. The binding stability was determined by washing ...
