Isolation and characterization of a Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain with zearalenone removal ability and its probiotic potential.
Zearalenone (ZEN) is a non-steroidal estrogenic mycotoxin produced by Fusarium species, which has been shown to be associated with reproductive disorders in livestock, and to a lesser extent with hyperoestrogenic syndromes in humans.The aim of this study was to Gel characterize a Bacillus amyloliquefaciens strain with ZEN removal ability.A pure cul
