In this study, the capacity of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to adsorb fumonisin B-1 (FB1) was evaluated in in vitro assays. The digestion of nutrients from maize contaminated with FB1 was assessed as well as the influence of digestive enzymes and pH on the bioavailability of FB1 in solution. Adsorption assays in buffers containing 5 mu g/ml of FB1 were conducted to determine the strain to be used in the in vitro di...
