Aflatoxin Control in Maize by Trametes versicolor
نویسندگان
چکیده
Aspergillus flavus is a well-known ubiquitous fungus able to contaminate both in pre- and postharvest period different feed and food commodities. During their growth, these fungi can synthesise aflatoxins, secondary metabolites highly hazardous for animal and human health. The requirement of products with low impact on the environment and on human health, able to control aflatoxin production, has increased. In this work the effect of the basidiomycete Trametes versicolor on the aflatoxin production by A. flavus both in vitro and in maize, was investigated. The goal was to propose an environmental loyal tool for a significant control of aflatoxin production, in order to obtain feedstuffs and feed with a high standard of quality and safety to enhance the wellbeing of dairy cows. The presence of T. versicolor, grown on sugar beet pulp, inhibited the production of aflatoxin B1 in maize by A. flavus. Furthermore, treatment of contaminated maize with culture filtrates of T. versicolor containing ligninolytic enzymes, showed a significant reduction of the content of aflatoxin B1.

Degradation of Aflatoxins by Means of Laccases from Trametes versicolor: An In Silico Insight
Mycotoxins are secondary metabolites of fungi that contaminate food and feed, and are involved in a series of foodborne illnesses and disorders in humans and animals. The mitigation of mycotoxin content via enzymatic degradation is a strategy to ensure safer food and feed, and to address the forthcoming issues in view of the global trade and sustainability. Nevertheless, the search for active e...
متن کاملTransformation of triclosan by Trametes versicolor and Pycnoporus cinnabarinus.
We investigated the ability of Trametes versicolor and Pycnoporous cinnabarinus to metabolize triclosan. T. versicolor produced three metabolites, 2-O-(2,4,4'-trichlorodiphenyl ether)-beta-D-xylopyranoside, 2-O-(2,4,4'-trichlorodiphenyl ether)-beta-D-glucopyranoside, and 2,4-dichlorophenol. P. cinnabarinus converted triclosan to 2,4, 4'-trichloro-2'-methoxydiphenyl ether and the glucoside conju...
متن کاملSpecies delimitation in Trametes: a comparison of ITS, RPB1, RPB2 and TEF1 gene phylogenies.
Trametes is a cosmopolitan genus of white rot polypores, including the "turkey tail" fungus, T. versicolor. Although Trametes is one of the most familiar genera of polypores, its species-level taxonomy is unsettled. The ITS region is the most commonly used molecular marker for species delimitation in fungi, but it has been shown to have a low molecular variation in Trametes resulting in poorly ...
متن کاملIntegration of affinity precipitation with three phase partitioning methods for bioseparation of laccase from Trametes versicolor
Separation of Trametes versicolor laccase from a commercial preparation was carried out using Three-Phase-Partitioning (TPP) technique. The conditions were optimized and the most favorable ammonium sulphate concentration (70% w/v), crude to t-butanol ratio (1.0:2.0) and pH (4.5) resulted in 56.22% yield with 1.65-fold purity of laccase. For further improvement in purification, an improved versi...
متن کاملSolid-state fermentation of sugarcane bagasse with Flammulina velutipes and Trametes versicolor.
The mushroom Flammulina velutipes and the white-rot fungus Trametes versicolor were cultivated separately on sugarcane bagasse for 40 days. Trametes versicolor produced laccase and manganese-peroxidase activities, showing a simultaneous degradation of lignin and holocellulose. However, only phenoloxidase activity was found with Flammulina velutipes. A preferential degradation of lignin was dete...
