Patulin (PAT), a fungal secondary metabolite with multiple toxicities, is an unavoidable contaminant in fruit and vegetable processing, posing potential health risks to consumers and causing significant economic losses to the global food industry. Traditional control strategies, such as physical and chemical methods, face several challenges, including low efficiency, high costs, and unverified safety. In contrast, microbial degradation of patulin is considered a more efficient and environmentally friendly approach, which has become a popular research focus.

Apples and apple-derived products can be contaminated with patulin and, to a lesser extent, aflatoxin B1 and fumonisins. Fruits were collected from Golden Delicious and Imperatore trees in three orchards in Veneto, Northern Italy, and analysed for the presence of fungi and mycotoxins. Sampling and analyses were also carried out from storage bins to final puree tanks along the apple-puree production chain.

Patulin (PAT), a notorious mycotoxin widely found in fruits and their derived products, poses serious health risks to humans and animals due to its high toxicity. Biodegradation based on microbial enzymes has shown broad application prospects in controlling PAT contamination due to its environmental friendliness, high efficiency, strong specificity, and mild conditions of action. Bacillus subtilis is a cosmopolitan probiotic bacterium with an extensive enzymatic profile, which could serve as a valuable resource for the effective production of a range of enzymes utilized in various industrial processes and production applications.

Mycobacterial species in nature are found in abundance in sphagnum peat bogs where they compete for nutrients with a variety of microorganisms including fungi. We screened a collection of fungi isolated from sphagnum bogs by co-culture with Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) to look for inducible expression of antitubercular agents and identified 5 fungi that produced cidal antitubercular agents upon exposure to live Mtb. Whole genome sequencing of these fungi followed by fungal RNAseq after Mtb exposure allowed us to identify biosynthetic gene clusters induced by co-culture.

Mycotoxin elimination is one of the significant concerns in the food industry. Cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) is a novel non-thermal method with high potential in this regard. This study aimed to evaluate the dielectric-barrier discharge (DBD) cold plasma effect on fresh-cut apple slices contaminated with patulin.
