Abstract
This study was conducted to examine the ability of selected dairy stra ins of lactic acid bacteria to remove aflatoxin B-1 (AFB(1)) from liqu id media. Both Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain GG (LBGG) and L. rhamnos us strain LC-705 (LC705) can significantly (P > 0.05) remove AFB(1) wh en compared with that by other strains of either Gram-positive or Gram -negative bacteria. Removal of AFB(1) by LBGG and LC705 was a rapid pr ocess with approximately 80% AFB(1) removed at 0 hr. Removal of AFB(1) by these two strains was both temperature and bacterial concentration dependent. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
