The efficacy of two strains of Kluyveromyces thermotolerans in preventing the growth and ochratoxin A (OTA) accumulation of ochratoxigenic fungi both "in vitro" and "in situ" was evaluated. The data from this study showed that both yeast strains were able to control Aspergillus carbonarius and A. niger aggregate species growth and ochratoxin A accumulation. The inhibitory effects were dependent on the ochratoxigenic species, yeast strains, a(w) and temperature evaluated and their interactions. Over all conditions assayed, ochratoxin A accumulation was reduced from 3% to 100% and the growth rate from 11% to 82.5%, depending on conditions. These results are promising for future development of a bio-pesticide.

Article Synopsis
- Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a major global contaminant that affects food safety, and this study focuses on isolating probiotics capable of degrading OTA.
- MM35, a newly identified strain, achieved an impressive 87.10% degradation of OTA within 48 hours and produced enzymes that contribute to this process.
- The strain exhibits significant antibacterial properties and tolerance to harsh environments, making it a promising candidate for managing OTA contamination in food and feed industries.

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a naturally occurring mycotoxin mainly produced by certain species of and and is a serious threat to human health and food safety. Previous studies showed that ML17 can completely degrade 1 μg/mL of OTA. The aim of this study was to investigate the degradation effect of ML17 at different concentrations of OTA, and specifically, to investigate the mechanism of OTA degradation by ML17.
