Reduction of the enniatins A, A1, B, B1 by an in vitro degradation employing different strains of probiotic bacteria: Identification of degradation products by LC–MS–LIT
Abstract The degradation of the Fusarium mycotoxins ENs by 9 bacterial strains characteristic of the gastrointestinal tract like Bb. longum , Bb. bifidum , Bb. breve , Bb. adolescentes , Lb. rhamnosus , Lb. casei–casei , S. termofilus , Lb. ruminis , Lb. casei and twenty two strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae was studied. The fermentations were carried out in the liquid medium of De Man Rogosa Sharpe (MRS) under anaerobic conditions for Bifidobacteria Streptococcus and Lactobacillus, and in Potato Dextrose Broth (PDB) for Saccharomyces strains, during 48 h. The degradation of the bioactive compounds ENs was also studied in a food system composed by wheat flour naturally contaminated by ENs…
Antibacterial activity of the emerging Fusarium mycotoxins enniatins A, A1, A2, B, B1, and B4 on probiotic microorganisms
Abstract Enniatins (ENs) are secondary metabolites produced by several Fusarium strains, chemically characterized as N-methylated cyclohexadepsipeptides. These compounds are known to act as antifungal and antibacterial agents, but they also possess anti-insect and phytotoxic properties. In this study, the antimicrobial effect of pure fractions of the bioactive compounds ENs A, A 1 , A 2 , B, B 1 , and B 4 was tested towards nine probiotic microrganisms, twenty-two Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains and nine Bacillus subtilis strains. Antimicrobial analyses were carried out the disc-diffusion method using ENs concentrations ranging from 0.2 to 20,000 ng. Plates were incubated for 24 h at 37 °C…
