Abstract
High concentrations of ochratoxin A (OTA) in feed lead to growth depression in animals. It has been reported that binders can be used for deactivating aflatoxins but not for other mycotoxins without negatively influencing the animals health. In this study a strain from the genus ofTrichosporon with the ability to cleave ochratoxin A very selectively into phenylalanine and the non-toxic ochratoxin α (OTα) could be isolated. This strain was selected from a pool of OTA detoxifying microorganism by carrying out several investigations.Trichosporon sp. nov. can be fermented and stabilized. In a feeding trial with broilers lyophilizedTrichosporon-cells could compensate performance losses caused by OTA.Entities:
