Current Status of Contamination and Advances in Bio-Degradation of Fumonisins
Fumonisins(FBs)and their analogues are a kind of water-soluble,small-molecular-weight and toxic secondary metabolites produced by some fungi during growth and metabolism.The contamination of grain with FBs produced by the fungal pathogens is hazardous to humans and animals.Nowadays,due to many disadvantages of physical and chemical methods for FBs detoxification,more and more concerns have been focused on the development of biological strategies with the advantages of safety and efficiency.In this paper,we review the latest research advances in the types,pollution situation,toxicity mechanism and biodegradation of FBs,which provided reference on high-efficiency detoxification of FBs for further study.
