Three species of the bacteria i.e., Lactobacillus delbrueckii, L. fermentum and L. plantarum were investigated for their ability in degradation of aflatoxin-B and suppressing its production as well as inhibiting the growth of A. flavus. The trial was designed in three variations by challenging the fungi with each lactic acid bacteria species, before (preceding), at the same time (simultaneous) and after (proceeding) fungal inoculation. It was found that all species of lactic acid bacteria are potential to inhibit fungal growth. Furthermore, aflatoxin-B was also able to be reduced in the medium by all the species. L.fermentum gave the lowest concentration of aflatoxin-B, followed by L. delbrueckii and L. plantarum during 15 days incubation with a total average concentration of 0.20, 0.31 and 0.45 mg L-1, respectively, compared with control which produced 1.09 mg L-1. In conclusion, this study was able to demonstrate that lactic acid bacteria are able to suppress the growth of A. flavus as well as to degrade the aflatoxin-B. © 2007 Asian Network for Scientific Information.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Aflatoxin-B,Aspergillus flavus,Lactic acid bacteria,Lactobacillus delbrueckii,Lactobacillus fermentum,Lactobacillus plantarum[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Aflatoxin-B,Aspergillus flavus,Lactic acid bacteria,Lactobacillus delbrueckii,Lactobacillus fermentum,Lactobacillus plantarum[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text][/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”DOI” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]https://doi.org/10.3923/biotech.2007.257.262[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/4″][vc_column_text]Widget Plumx[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
