Abstract

<h4>Aims</h4>To assess the ability of five probiotic bacteria to bind aflatoxin B(1) and to determine the key role of teichoic acids in the binding mechanism.<h4>Methods and results</h4>The strains were incubated in aqueous solutions containing aflatoxin B(1) (AFB(1)). The amount of free toxin was q...
