therapeutic action: Aflatoxin detoxification

A Review of Research Progress on the Microbial or Enzymatic Degradation and Mechanism of Aflatoxin B1

Aflatoxin B1 is a dangerous toxin found in contaminated cereals and food products that can cause serious diseases including liver cancer. Scientists have discovered that certain bacteria and fungi can naturally break down this toxin into less harmful substances through their enzymes. This review summarizes different microorganisms and enzymes that can degrade aflatoxin B1, explaining how they work and what safe products they create, offering hope for safer food storage and treatment.

Enhanced extracellular production of laccase in Coprinopsis cinerea by silencing chitinase gene

Scientists enhanced the production of laccase, a useful enzyme with industrial applications, in a type of mushroom by silencing specific genes involved in cell wall construction. The modified mushroom strain could withstand stronger mixing forces during fermentation, leading to significantly higher enzyme yields. This genetic engineering approach could help make laccase production more efficient and cost-effective for industrial uses like detoxification and food processing.
