AI Article Synopsis
- An increasing number of strains have been studied for their ability to remove zearalenone (ZEN), but the specifics of how they detoxify it remain unclear.
- Researchers identified strain Y816, which can transform significant amounts of ZEN, and discovered two biotransformation products: ZEN-14-phosphate and E2-3-phosphate.
- The study also identified an enzyme (ZPH) responsible for this transformation, revealing that the phosphorylated products have lower estrogenic toxicity, which could lead to new approaches in ZEN biotransformation.
Article Abstract
An increasing number of strains have been identified, and the removal capacity of zearalenone (ZEN) was determined; however, they failed to reveal the detoxification mechanism and transformation product. Here, Y816, which could transform 40 mg/L of ZEN within 7 h of fermentation, was identified and studied. First, the biotransformation products of ZEN and 17-β-estradiol (E2) were identified as ZEN-14-phosphate and E2-3-phosphate by HPLC-TOF-MS and NMR, respectively. An intracellular zearalenone phosphotransferase (ZPH) was found through transcriptome sequencing analysis of Y816. The phosphorylated reaction conditions of ZEN by ZPH were further revealed in this work. Furthermore, the phosphorylated conjugates showed reduced estrogenic toxicity compared with their original substances (ZEN and α/β-zearalenol) using an engineered yeast biosensor system. The first report on the phosphorylated conjugated mode of ZEN in Y816 will inspire new perspectives on the biotransformation of ZEN in strains.
