Abstract
16
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), is a type I carcinogen and one of the strongest naturally occurring that may
17
have injurious to human and livestock upon ingestion, inhalation or skin contact like
18
carcinogenic and mutagenic effects. It causes significant hazardous effects to food and animal
19
production industry. We found 3J2MO bacteria strain degraded AFB1 ultra-well and here it
20
were tested its AFB1 degradation ability and characterized. The strain degraded AFB1 about
21
93.82% after incubated for 48h in Luria-Bertani (LB) medium at 37 ℃
22
concentration of 100ppb and inoculation quantity of 1x107CFU/ml. High performance liquid
23
chromatography-fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD) was used to determine AFB1 amount.
24
Maximum degradation rate was 89.23% at pH 8.5, 55.78% at an inoculation quantity of
25
1x108CFU/ml and 71.50% and 71.21% at 34℃and 37℃ respectively. Treatment with sucrose
26
and soluble starch as a carbon nutrients and beef extract and ammonium acetate as nitrogen
27
nutrients stimulated the degradation rate. Mg2+ and Ca2+ ions were activators for AFB1

1. Introduction
33
Aflatoxins are noxious secondary metabolites that are produced by filamentous fungal species
34
like Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus distributed worldwide in environment which
35
normally contaminate staple foods and feeds and may have injurious to human and livestock
36
upon ingestion, inhalation or skin contact like carcinogenic, mutagenic, cytotoxic and
37
endocrine disrupting effects
38
carcinogenic potent chemical in nature, that attack liver 8.
39
The global contamination of foods and feeds with mycotoxins is a significant agricultural and
40
medical problem
41
consumed cereals such as maize, rice and peanut and regrettably are also the greatest prone
42
crops to mycotoxins and results to massive economic losses each year, including health
43
endangerment and loss in human and animal life, decrease livestock productivity and so on

45
contaminated with mycotoxins at various levels, and around 20%-50% of all cereal products
46
produced globally are contaminated with mycotoxins to various extend, which sometimes are
47
unpredictable and difficult to estimate making it a worldwide food safety and public health
48
problem 11.

Fungal growth and mycotoxin production may occur at various stages in the food chain from

pre to post harvest14,13 like in the field, processing or during storage under desirable weather
51
such as temperature and humidity conditions11. Due to climate change and global warming
52
the world is undergoing nowadays, countries having temperate climate like warmer, tropical
53
and subtropical climatic conditions are also most likely to be impacted by aflatoxins producing
54
fungi and consequently aflatoxins
55
region and Sub Saharan Africa are at a high risk for chronic exposures to hazardous effects of
56
mycotoxins 8,12,20.
57
Reducing and removing both pre and postharvest aflatoxins contamination in crops is a huge
58
challenge facing health and agriculture researchers recently. Aflatoxins contamination can be
59
minimized by following proper crop field management including good agriculture practices.
60
This will contribute greatly to achieving the goal of devising novel strategies to eliminate pre-
61
and postharvest aflatoxins contamination, resulting to a safer food and feed supply21.
62
When considering aflatoxins mitigation strategy, one must bear in mind that, basic molecular
63
structure of all aflatoxins is carbon in nature, so microorganisms that could utilize it as their
64
carbon source might also be able to degrade it. Therefore, the metabolizing processes could
65
result in the degradation of these mycotoxins

67
source. Hence, biodegradation of aflatoxins using microorganisms is considered to be an
68
auspicious strategy for aflatoxins remediation because it is safe, selective, effective and
69
environmental friendly compared to other strategies.
70
In an efforts of mitigating the effects of aflatoxins, a number of bacteria isolates with
71
biodegradation ability have been characterized so far and seems to be better, from quality and

76
During decomposition reaction, unknown and noxious by products might be created which are
77
capable to react with other metabolites creating unmanageable and unwelcome mixture of
78
reagents34. Therefore, besides monitoring mycotoxin degradation by immunochemical or
79
other analytical methods, it is very essential to develop applicable methods to detect
80
hazardous metabolites produced during mycotoxin degradation like ELISA
81
SOS-Chromotest 36 so as to safeguard human and livestock health.
82
In an attempt to investigate new strain that will not change the characteristics of food during
83
AFB1 degradation, bacteria Myroides Odoratimimus strain 3J2MO was obtained from the
84
laboratory library after it displayed strong degradation activity on aflatoxins. Myroides
85
Odoratimimus is a gram-negative, non-fermentative, obligately aerobic, yellow pigmented,
86
and non-motile rod-shaped bacterium with a characteristic fruity odor and commonly found in
87
environment such as water bodies and soil. The genus Myroides comprises two species,
88
Myroides odoratus and Myroides odoratimimus 37,38. They are seldom clinical isolates and are
