Possibilities for the biological control of mycotoxins in food and feed

Abstract

Seeking useful biological agents for mycotoxin detoxification has achieved success in the last twenty years thanks to the participation of many multidisciplinary teams. We have recently witnessed discoveries in the fields of bacterial genetics (inclusive of next-generation sequencing), protein encoding, and bioinformatics that have helped to shape the latest perception of how icroorganisms/mycotoxins/environmental factors intertwine and interact, so the road is opened for new breakthroughs.
