Abstract:

This work aims to enrich the resources of biodegradable aflatoxin B1 and study the degradation mechanism and toxicity of the product. Triple quadrupole liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS/MS)and 1H NMR were combined to detect the degraded products of aflatoxin B1(AFB1)by a strain Bacillus subtilis WTX1,and the cell toxicology tests on the degradation products were performed. The degrading mechanism of AFB1 by the strain WTX1 was to destroy the structures of furan ring dihydrogen double bond,vanillin aliphatic ring and pentenone ring to form small molecule compounds and to achieve detoxification effect. The cell toxicology test confirmed that the degraded products by strain WTX1 was basically non-toxic to cells. The degradation mechanism of strain WTX1 is to destroy the toxicity and mutation-causing structure of AFB1 and to produce small molecule compounds. The product of degraded AFB1 by WTX1 is not mutagenic and toxic to cells. The later study of the main role of substances from strain degrading AFB1 would provide a new idea for industrial removal of AFB1 toxin.
