Abstract
Background
Fungal toxins are highly toxic and widely distributed, presenting a considerable threat to global agricultural development. Addressing the issue of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) contamination in feed, it is crucial to ascertain the effectiveness and mechanisms of microbial strains in degradation.
Results
This study used isotope tracing and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) to investigate the degradation products of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens YUAD7 in complex substrates. By tracing 14C34-AFB1 and utilizing NMR, ultra-performance liquid chromatography–quadrupole time-of-flight/mass spectrometry (UPLC–Q-TOF/MS) purification and identification techniques, it was confirmed that AFB1 was degraded by YUAD7 into C12H14O4, C5H12N2O2, C10H14O2, and C4H12N2O, effectively removing 99.7% of AFB1 (100 μg/kg) from alfalfa silage. YUAD7 targeted the ester bond in the vanillin lactone ring structure, the ether bond in the furan ring structure, and the unsaturated carbon–carbon double bond in the furan ring structure during AFB1 degradation, disrupting the toxic sites responsible for AFB1's carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic effects and achieving biodegradation. Moreover, B. amyloliquefaciens YUAD7 transformed AFB1 through processes like hydrogenation, enzyme modification, and the loss of the -CO group while also being associated with metabolic pathways such as alanine, aspartate, glutamate metabolism, glutathione metabolism, cysteine and methionine metabolism, and pentose and glucuronate interconversions.
Conclusions
The utilization of isotope tracing allowed for rapid identification of degradation products in complex substrates, while NMR elucidated the structures of these products. This deepens our understanding of AFB1 biodegradation mechanisms, providing technical support for the practical application of these bacteria in degradation, and new insights into studying the biological degradation mechanism. B. amyloliquefaciens YUAD7 can be used as a potential strain for degrading AFB1 in large-scale silage.
期刊介绍：
Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture is an international, interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed forum for the advancement and application to all fields of agriculture of modern chemical, biochemical and molecular technologies. The scope of this journal includes chemical and biochemical processes aimed to increase sustainable agricultural and food production, the evaluation of quality and origin of raw primary products and their transformation into foods and chemicals, as well as environmental monitoring and remediation. Of special interest are the effects of chemical and biochemical technologies, also at the nano and supramolecular scale, on the relationships between soil, plants, microorganisms and their environment, with the help of modern bioinformatics. Another special focus is the use of modern bioorganic and biological chemistry to develop new technologies for plant nutrition and bio-stimulation, advancement of biorefineries from biomasses, safe and traceable food products, carbon storage in soil and plants and restoration of contaminated soils to agriculture.
This journal presents the first opportunity to bring together researchers from a wide number of disciplines within the agricultural chemical and biological sciences, from both industry and academia. The principle aim of Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture is to allow the exchange of the most advanced chemical and biochemical knowledge to develop technologies which address one of the most pressing challenges of our times - sustaining a growing world population.
Chemical and Biological Technologies in Agriculture publishes original research articles, short letters and invited reviews. Articles from scientists in industry, academia as well as private research institutes, non-governmental and environmental organizations are encouraged.
