Aflatoxin B<sub>1</sub> (AFB<sub>1</sub>) and zearalenone (ZEN) exert deleterious effects to human and animal health. In this study, the ability of a CotA laccase from <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> (<i>Bs</i>CotA) to degrade these two mycotoxins was first investigated. Among the nine structurally defined chemical compounds, methyl syringate was the most efficient mediator assisting <i>Bs</i>CotA to degrade AFB<sub>1</sub> (98.0%) and ZEN (100.0%). <i>Bs</i>CotA could also use plant extracts, includin ...[more]
