In vitromicrobial metabolism of fumonisin B1

Food Additives and Contaminants, 2007
International audienceThere is a lack of information on the effect of swine caecal microbiota on fumonisin metabolism. In this in vitro study, the biotransformation of fumonisin B1 (FB1) by the gut microbiota of adult, healthy pigs was examined. For that

Biologically Based Methods for Control of Fumonisin-producing Fusarium species and Reduction of the Fumonisins [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Infection by the fumonisin-producing Fusarium spp. and subsequent fumonisin contamination of maize adversely affect international trade and economy with deleterious effects on human and animal health.

Variation in the fumonisin biosynthetic gene cluster in fumonisin-producing and nonproducing black aspergilli

Fungal Genetics and Biology, 2014
The ability to produce fumonisin mycotoxins varies among members of the black aspergilli. Previously, analyses of selected genes in the fumonisin biosynthetic gene (fum) cluster in black aspergilli from California grapes indicated that fumonisin ...

Screening and Initial Binding Assessment of Fumonisin B1 Aptamers

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2010
Fumonisins are mycotoxins produced by Fusarium verticillioides and F. proliferatum, fungi that are ubiquitous in corn (maize). Insect damage and some other environmental conditions result in the accumulation of fumonisins in corn-based products worldwide.

Mechanism of Fumonisin Self-Resistance: Fusarium verticillioides Contains Four Fumonisin B₁-Insensitive-Ceramide Synthases

Toxins
Fusarium verticillioides produces fumonisins, which are mycotoxins inhibiting sphingolipid biosynthesis in humans, animals, and other eukaryotes. Fumonisins are presumed virulence factors of plant pathogens, but may also play a role in interactions ...

Fumonisin intake of the German consumer

Mycotoxin Research, 2008
In order to calculate the dietary fumonisin intake of the German consumer, a large survey was carried out on a variety of potentially contaminated products in the period between December 1998 and July 2001.

Validation and Application of a Low-Cost Sorting Device for Fumonisin Reduction in Maize

Toxins, 2021
Fumonisin mycotoxins are a persistent challenge to human and livestock health in tropical and sub-tropical maize cropping systems, and more efficient methods are needed to reduce their presence in food systems. We constructed a novel, low-cost device for

Multispectral Sorting Based on Visibly High-Risk Kernels Sourced from Another Country Reduces Fumonisin and Toxigenic Fusarium on Maize Kernels

Journal of Food Protection, 2023
Fusarium species infect maize crops leading to the production of fumonisin by their toxigenic members. Elimination of microbes is critical in mitigating further postharvest spoilage and toxin accumulation. The current study investigates the efficacy of a

Microbial Reduction of Fumonisin B1 by the New Isolate Serratia marcescens 329-2

Toxins, 2021
The mycotoxin fumonisin (FB) has become a major problem in maize products in southeastern Asia. Fumonisin can affect the health of humans and many animals. Fumonisin contamination can be reduced by detoxifying microbial enzyme.
