Biodegradation of Aflatoxin B1 by Bacillus licheniformis.

Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is the most harmful among the mycotoxins present in food and \nfeed, and it may lead to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in humans and animals. \nTherefore, limiting its exposure to humans and livestock is very much essential. The \npresent study aims to characterize the probiotic potential of Bacillus licheniformis and \nto assess the efficacy to detoxify AFB1 contaminated feed.
