Isolation and characterization of a novel deoxynivalenol ‐transforming strain Paradevosia shaoguanensis DDB001 from wheat field soil

This study is the first report on isolation of a member of the genus Paradevosia as a potent DON‐transformation micro‐organism. The isolated bacterium has the potential to be utilized for detoxification of DON‐contaminated feed. Significance and Impact of the Study: Deoxynivalenol (DON) is one of the most frequently found mycotoxins in all major cereal grains worldwide. A DON‐transforming bacterium, Paradevosia shaoguanensis DDB001, was isolated from wheat field soil. This study is the first report on isolation of a member of the genus Paradevosia as a potent DON‐transformation micro‐organism. The isolated bacterium has the potential to be utilized for detoxification of DON‐contaminated feed.
