Journal ArticleDOI
Surface binding of aflatoxin B(1) by lactic acid bacteria.
TL;DR: The accessibility of bound aflatoxin B1 to an antibody in an indirect competitive inhibition enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay suggests that surface components of these bacteria are involved in binding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ability of dairy strains of lactic acid bacteria to bind a common food carcinogen, aflatoxin B1.
TL;DR: This study was conducted to examine the ability of selected dairy strains of lactic acid bacteria to remove aflatoxin B1 from liquid media and found that both Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain GG and LC-705 can significantly remove AFB1 when compared with that by other strains of either Gram-positive or Gram-negative bacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aflatoxin B1 binding by dairy strains of lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria.

TL;DR: Bacterial binding of AFB1 by these strains was rapid, and more than 50% AFB1 was bound throughout a 72-h incubation period, which further support the ability of specific strains of lactic acid bacteria to bind selected dietary contaminants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Factors affecting the sequestration of aflatoxin by Lactobacillusrhamnosus strain GG
TL;DR: The interaction of a potent carcinogen, aflatoxin B(1) (AFB(1), with a probiotic strain of lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus rhamnosus strain GG (GG), has been investigated and the effect of urea suggested hydrophobic interactions play a major role in binding.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ability of Lactobacillus and Propionibacterium strains to remove aflatoxin B1 from the chicken duodenum.
TL;DR: The ability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus strains GG and LC-705 to remove AFB1 from the intestinal luminal liquid medium has been tested in vivo using a chicken intestinal loop technique and there was a 74% reduction in the uptake of AFB1 by the intestinal tissue, in the presence of L. rhamosus strain GG.
