Biotransformation of the mycotoxin zearalenone by fungi of the generaRhizopusandAspergillus

Abstract: Zearalenone (ZEN) is a nonsteroidal estrogenic mycotoxin biosynthesized by various Fusarium fungi. These fungal species frequently infest grains; therefore, ZEN represents a common contaminant in cereal products. The biotransformation of ZEN differs significantly from species to species, and several metabolites are known to be formed by animals, plants, and microorganisms. The aim of the present study was to investigate the microbial conversion of ZEN by species of the genera Rhizopus and Aspergillus represent… Show more

“…6,22e27 Four new bresorcylic macrolides would be derived through biogenetic modification of zearalenone. 28 Octahydronaphthalenes carrying a tetramic acid substituent at C-9 are common metabolites in this genus. 16e21 Therefore, this is the first report on the isolation of an octahydronaphthalene derivative without the tetramic acid group at C-9.…”

“…Besides bacteria, several fungi were known as degrader of ZEN by producing different metabolites of ZEN: Rhizopus spp. producing α- zearalenol and β -zearalenol (Brodehl et al 2014); Aspergillus ochraceous and Aspergillus niger producing α -zearalanol and β -zearalanol (El-Sharkawy and Abul-Hajj 1988b); Cunninghamella bainieri producing 2,4-dimethoxyzearalenone and 2-methoxyzearalenone (El-Sharkawy and Abul-Hajj 1988b); Rhizopus arrhizus producing zearalenone 4-sulfate (El-Sharkaway et al 1991); Thamidium elegans and Mucor bainieri producing zearalenone-4- β - d -glucoside (El-Sharkawy and Abul-Hajj 1987). However, some of ZEN metabolic products such as α- zearalenol, α -zearalanol, and β -zearalanol showed higher toxicity and higher relative estrogenicity than ZEN (Shier et al 2001).…”

“…ZEN14Sulf appears to be a frequent contaminant of cereal-based food and feed (see Section 5). Recently, ZEN14Sulf has also been detected by LC-MS/MS in liquid cultures of two Aspergillus oryzae strains and seven Rhizopus species (Brodehl et al, 2014). These fungi are used for food processing, e.g.…”
