Bacillus subtilis, as an important industrial microorganism, is widely used in the production of enzyme preparations due to its rapid growth, strong enzyme production capacity, and resistance to environmental stress. Furthermore, Bacillus subtilis possesses strong fermentation capacity and a sophisticated expression system, enabling efficient expression of exogenous proteins, making it an ideal host for aflatoxin-degrading enzymes. However, research on the efficient expression of aflatoxin-degrading enzymes in Bacillus subtilis remains in its exploratory stages.
