The aim of this study was to screen microbes for their zearalenone degrading potential and to select microbes whose activities do not create toxic or endocrine disrupting metabolites. Bioluminescent bioreporters (Saccharomyces cerevisiae BLYES and BLYR) were successfully used to monitor toxin degradation; the results of zearalenone biodegradation experiments were confirmed by parallel chemical analysis (HPLC-FLD) and immunoanalytical (ELISA) tests. Using the BLYES/BLYR bioreporters, the most appropriate microbes (ones that produced minimal toxic products and products with lower estrogenic potential) could be selected. The most promising strains belong to Streptomyces and Rhodococcus genera. Our findings demonstrate the benefit of using biological tests beside the analytical method, since bioreporters were able to monitor the samples for toxicity and estrogenic potential even after substantial degradation. We conclude that the BLYES/BLYR bioreporter system is a cost effective, fast and reliable tool for screening zearalenone-degrading microbes.

head blight (FHB) is a major disease affecting wheat production worldwide, caused by multiple species. In this study, seven strains were isolated from wheat fields across the Western Cape region of South Africa and identified through phylogenetic analysis. The strains were classified into three species complexes: the species complex (FGSC), species complex (FIESC), and species complex (FTSC).

Deoxynivalenol (DON), fumonisin B (FB), and zearalenone (ZEN) are typical fusarium mycotoxins that occur worldwide in foodstuffs, posing significant health hazards to humans and animals. Single and combined exposure of DON, FB, and ZEN leads to intestinal toxicity but the toxicology mechanism research is still limited. In this study, we explored the cytotoxicity effects of DON, FB, ZEN, and their combination in rat intestinal epithelial cell line 6 (IEC-6) cells.

microorganisms play an important role in the zearalenone (ZEA) biotransformation process in natural environments. The phosphotransferase pathway in is both widespread and relatively well conserved. However, the reaction kinetics of these phosphotransferases remain poorly understood, and their catalytic activities are suboptimal.

Fusarium mycotoxins often co-occur in broiler feed, and their presence negatively impacts health even at subclinical concentrations, so there is a need to identify the concentrations of these toxins that do not adversely affect chickens health and performance. The study was conducted to evaluate the least toxic effects of combined mycotoxins fumonisins (FUM), deoxynivalenol (DON), and zearalenone (ZEA) on the production performance, immune response, intestinal morphology, and nutrient digestibility of broiler chickens. A total of 960 one-day-old broilers were distributed into eight dietary treatments: T1 (Control); T2: 33.
