Abstract: As one of the most widely distributed Fusarium mycotoxin, deoxynivalenol (DON) not only results in the enormous loss of global food industry, but also lead to serious threat for food safety. The appropriate application of microbial degradation metabolism of DON in raw materials has become a hot topic. In this paper, biodegradation, transformation and absorption pathways including 3C—OH oxidation, de-epoxidation, hydration, glycosylation, 3C-epimerization, binding and absorption and other mechanisms are summarized, which will provide the better understanding of biodegradation, transformation or absorption mechanisms of DON, and theoretical basis for the control of DON in food and feed through microbiological strategies.

Key words: deoxynivalenol (DON), biodegradation, pathways
