Abstract:

Objective: To isolate and identify a Bacillus strain used for biodegradation of deoxynivalenol (DON). Methods:
Samples of moldy straw, soil and faeces were collected and heated to 80 ℃. The supernatant was inoculated into an isolation
medium with DON as the sole carbon source to enrich DON-degrading strains. The enriched strains were isolated and
purified on LB medium plates, and then the isolates were detected for their ability to degrade DON. The optimal strain
was identified by morphological observation, physiological and biochemical tests and 16S rDNA sequences. Results:
The optimal strain B.JG05 was screened out of 16 isloates, which could degrade up to 80.61% of DON in inorganic salt
medium. The degradation efficiency of DON in feed by B.JG05 was 82.68%. The strain B.JG05 was a rod-shaped and sporeforming
bacterium. Its physiological and biochemical characteristics were consistent with those of Bacillus cereus, and the
phylogentic tree analysis based on 16S rDNA sequence showed that it was the most close to Bacillus cereus. Conclusion:
The strain B.JG05 with high DON degradation capacity was identified as Bacillus cereus, and it could offer a basis for the
biodegradation of DON in feed or food.
