Abstract: Biological removal of mycotoxin is now under extensive study. Besides some microenzymes that can transfer mycotoxin into non-toxic or less toxic products via chemical modifications, the removal of mycotoxin can also be completed through the adhesion of microbial cell walls to toxins. This adhesion technique is related to microbial surface components and structural characteristics. The interactions between the microbial cell surface structure and toxin binding are reviewed in this paper. Meanwhile, the current research situation, binding mechanisms and infulencing factors are discussed. This study will provide some references for future studies on the biotransformation and removal of mycotoxin.

Key words: mycotoxin, cell wall, absorption, mechanism, influencing factors
