Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the fields of microbiology and fermentation engineering, specifically to a strain of Bacillus subtilis, a compound microbial agent, and its application in the degradation of mycotoxins. Background Technology
[0002] Mycotoxins are naturally occurring toxic secondary metabolites produced by fungi, widely found in contaminated feed ingredients and compound feeds. They mainly include T-2 toxin, DON (vomiting toxin), aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), fumonisin B1 (FB1), and ochratoxin A (OTA). Among these, T-2 toxin is a highly toxic fungal toxin produced by Fusarium fungi, belonging to the trichothecene family of compounds. T-2 toxin can cause damage to tissues such as the intestines, liver, kidneys, and brain, with liver damage being the most typical symptom. In addition, T-2 toxin can also cause ataxia, anorexia, central nervous system damage, growth inhibition, bone deformities, and immune system destruction, posing a serious challenge to the livestock industry and human health.
[0003] The toxic epoxy groups and double bonds of T-2 toxin exhibit strong resistance to nucleophiles, making its chemical structure extremely stable. T-2 toxin retains its toxicity for 6-7 years at room temperature and its toxicity is difficult to reduce even under high pressure, ultraviolet light, or neutral or acidic environments. Therefore, detoxification of T-2 toxin is extremely difficult. Current detoxification methods mainly include physical, chemical, and biological methods. However, physical and chemical detoxification may alter feed palatability and reduce its nutritional and usability. In contrast, biological detoxification avoids the drawbacks of irritating odors and nutrient loss, and demonstrates good detoxification efficiency and specificity for T-2 toxin. Biological detoxification utilizes microorganisms or enzymes to convert fungal toxins into less toxic substances through biological metabolism. For example, studies have reported that *Eubacterium* partially degrades T-2 toxin into HT-2 and can convert T-2 toxin metabolites (HT-2, T-2 triol, T-2 tetraol, etc.) into their de-epoxylated forms, thus disrupting the chemical structure of the fungal toxin and achieving safe detoxification. Current research on T-2 toxin detoxification strains primarily focuses on *Lactococcus lactis* (…). Lactococcus lactis ), intertidal microbacteria ( Exiguobacteriumestuarine ), genus *Phyllostachys* ( Curtobacterium ), Eubacterium ( Eubacterium Bacteria such as ) and brewer's yeast ( Saccharomyces yeast Aspergillus niger ( Aspergillus niger While it can be used on fungi such as ), there are problems such as low degradation efficiency, unstable effect, and unclear degradation mechanism. The resources of strains that can efficiently degrade T-2 toxin are still relatively scarce.
[0004] In addition, there are synergistic toxic effects among different mycotoxins. Studies have found that the co-contamination rate of mycotoxins in feed ingredients and compound feed is 30.3%-88.9%, which makes the formulation of mycotoxin limit standards and pollution control more complicated.

Corn-soybean meal feed was selected as the experimental subject. The experiment was divided into experimental groups 1, 2, 3, and 4 (T1, T2, T3, and T4) and a control group (CK). 100g of feed from each experimental group and the control group was spread evenly on a plastic film. T-2 toxin, vomitoxin, fumonisin B1, aflatoxin B1, and ochratoxin A were dissolved in 1mL of solvent, with vomitoxin dissolved in sterile water and the others in acetonitrile. The dissolved toxins were then evenly sprayed onto the feed using a small spray bottle to achieve a final concentration of 100μg / kg. After standing for 2 hours, the seed fermentation broth of Bacillus subtilis (adjusted for viable count), compound microbial agent A, compound microbial agent B, and compound microbial agent C, respectively, were evenly sprayed onto the feed using a spray bottle in experimental groups T1 to T4. The same volume of microbial solution was sprayed onto each experimental group, and the total viable count in each experimental group's feed was guaranteed to reach 1×10⁻⁶. 6 For the control group, the corresponding volume of solvent (1 mL sterile pure water and 4 mL acetonitrile) was sprayed, and the toxin content was determined after standing for 24 hours.
[0121] Take 1g of feed from experimental groups 1-4 and the control group respectively into 99mL sterile physiological saline conical flasks, and shake at 25℃ and 180r / min for 0.5h.

[0124] Combining Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus lateralis, and Aspergillus niger can improve the degradation effect on multiple mycotoxin contamination, especially in synergistically reducing the content of T-2 toxin, vomitoxin, fumonisin B1, and ochratoxin A in combined toxin contamination.
[0125] Example 7: Animal Experiment 1. Test method: Two hundred and seventy three-day-old broiler chicks were used as experimental animals. Before the experiment, the chicken house floor, cages, water troughs, and feed troughs were cleaned and subsequently disinfected by fumigation. During the experiment, the temperature in the chicken house was controlled at 30±5℃ and the relative humidity at 40%. Multi-layer cages were used for rearing, and the stocking density was controlled to ensure the broilers had free movement, feeding, and drinking. The cages, water troughs, and feed troughs were cleaned daily, and manure was removed to ensure a hygienic growing environment for the broilers.
[0126] First, the chickens were acclimatized to a basal diet (purchased from Shannong Agricultural and Animal Husbandry (Tai'an) Co., Ltd.). Then, 270 broilers were randomly divided into three groups, with six replicates per group and 15 chickens per replicate. The three groups were the control group (CK), the T-2 toxin group (T-2), and the T-2 toxin detoxification group (T-2+JF). All groups of broilers were fed free access to food and water. The experimental period was 21 days. All three groups were fed the same basal diet. The T-2 toxin group was exposed to the toxin in a manner similar to natural feeding, and the specific treatment method is as follows: CK group: fed purified water and basal diet.
[0127] T-2 group: fed with purified water, and T-2 toxin was evenly mixed into the basal diet to achieve a T-2 toxin concentration of 100 μg / kg.
[0128] T-2+JF group: fed purified water, with T-2 toxin and Bacillus subtilis BLYC-1937 bacterial powder evenly mixed into the basal diet, so that the concentration of T-2 toxin in the diet reached 100 μg / kg and the number of viable Bacillus subtilis BLYC-1937 in the feed reached 1×10⁻⁶. 6 CFU / g.
[0129] During the experiment, each group's diet was prepared and used immediately, while other feeding and management practices remained consistent. Daily feed intake and body weight were recorded, and the feed conversion ratio (FCR, FCR = feed intake / body weight gain) was calculated. Sampling was conducted on days 7, 14, and 21 after grouping. Chickens were fasting for 24 hours prior to slaughter. Five chickens were selected from each replicate group. Body weight and venous blood were collected from the selected chickens before euthanasia. At slaughter, the bursa of Fabricius, spleen, and liver were removed, connective tissue and blood were removed, and their weight was measured. The organ index (organ index = organ weight / body weight × 100%) was determined. The kidneys and liver were removed, cleaned with 4°C physiological saline, and then stored at -20°C.
[0130] After incubating venous blood at 37°C for 30 minutes, centrifuging at 4000 r / min for 10 minutes, the supernatant was collected, and various biochemical indicators (alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), albumin (ALB), creatinine (CREA), uric acid (UA), and urea (UREA)) of the 21-day serum were detected using a blood biochemistry analyzer.
[0131] Take 0.2g of liver and kidney samples respectively into test tubes, add 1.9mL of 80% methanol, grind using a homogenizer, shake at 180r / min for 16h at room temperature, centrifuge at 4000r / min for 5min, and determine the T-2 toxin concentration of each sample using a T-2 toxin detection kit.
