Abstract: Ochratoxin A(OTA)is a class of polyketides, which are secondary metabolites produced by Aspergillus spp. and Penicillium spp., having a strong toxicity. In recent years, there are a large number of domestic and international researches on OTA biological detoxification, mainly on screening strains of OTA detoxification, including bacteria, molds and yeasts and so on . In addition, exploring different microbial detoxification mechanism is also a research hotspot. In this paper, these two aspects of progress were summarized and discussed.

Key words: Bio-detoxification, Ochratoxin, A, Bacterial, Fungi, Intestinal microbial
