Description Aflatoxin is known to be highly carcinogenic polyketide metabolites.
Saccharomyces cerevisiae are known to bind to these toxins and help in
decontamination.Yeasts other than Saccharomyces predominate in most of
the fermented foods. However their binding capacities to these toxins are not
known. On screening 3 promising isolates which had high binding affinity
were observed. The bound toxins were characterised through LC-MS which
indicated the formation of sodium adducts. The isolates were identified as
Pichia anomala, Clavispora lusitaniae and Candida tropicalis. Among
these strains Candida tropicalis was found to be efficient in aflatoxin
binding. These forms are common residents of most of the fermented foods,
which pave a new way for the decontamination of aflatoxin.
