This study investigated the ability of the novel strain B73, isolated from petroleum-contaminated soil, to detoxify the mycotoxin Zearalenone (ZEN). The strain was identified as Bacillus spizizenii and showed a remarkable ability to degrade ZEN both in a minimal medium and in ZEN-contaminated agricultural products. The degradation rates reached high percentages, and the analysis of degradation products revealed a specific compound.
Zearalenone (ZEN) is a widespread mycotoxin found in grain and feed, presenting a serious threat to animal and human health. This study investigated the ability of the novel strain B73, isolated from petroleum-contaminated soil, to detoxify ZEN. B73 was identified as Bacillus spizizenii through physiological and biochemical tests, and further confirmed based on the 16S rRNA gene sequence and the complete genome sequence. B. spizizenii B73 was capable of degrading up to 99.3% of ZEN at a concentration of 10 mu g/mL in a minimal medium (pH = 7.0) within 8 h at 37 degrees C via HPLC-UV. In addition, B. spizizenii B73 was used to treat ZEN-contaminated wheat bran, dried distillers grains (DDGS), and corn meal, whereby the respective degradation rates reached 96.32%, 98.73%, and 80.31% after 36 h of treatment. HPLC-Q-Exactive-MS/MS analysis revealed one of the degradation products to have the formula C17H24O4. B. spizizenii B73 is a novel strain isolated from petroleum-contaminated soil, and the extracellular enzymes secreted by this strain show a remarkable ability to degrade ZEN.
