The Possible Mechanisms Involved in Citrinin Elimination by Cryptococcus podzolicus Y3 and the Effects of Extrinsic Factors on the Degradation of Citrinin.

Citrinin (CIT) is a toxic secondary metabolite produced by fungi belonging to the spp. This toxin has been detected in many agricultural products. In this study, a strain Y3 with the ability to eliminate CIT was screened and identified as , based on the sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacer region.
