Bifunctional Enzymes for Deoxynivalenol Degradation in Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Chassis.
Deoxynivalenol (DON), a prevalent mycotoxin produced by Fusarium spp., represents a persistent threat to global food and feed safety. Two innovative strategies were developed herein for efficient DON detoxification. Coupling the genes encoding the aldo-keto reductase AKR13B2 and the pyrroloquinoline quinone-dependent D...
