Description
García-García and co-authors (2024) tested whether a common bacterium can neutralize several grain toxins at once. Type A trichothecenes are fungal poisons that often contaminate stored cereals together, so a microbe that handles more than one is valuable. The team produced the toxins in the lab, cultured a bacterial community from a broiler chicken's stomach gland, and screened its members for toxin removal.
One isolate, Bacillus cereus, removed meaningful shares of all three toxins tested, roughly 28 to 33 percent of each. Much of that removal came from the toxins sticking to the cells rather than being broken down, a binding effect the authors measured separately for each toxin. They present this as the first proof that this species can act as both inactivator and binder across several type A trichothecenes, a candidate approach for cleaning contaminated feed.
