Synergistic effects of probiotic Bifidobacterium isolated from chicken's intestine in combination with polyvinylpyrrolidone on reduction of aflatoxin B1

Abstract

Significance and Impact of the Study: Although various technologies (physical, chemical and biological) have been investigated to reduce the adverse effects of aflatoxins, these efforts have not yet resulted in a cost-effective, general toxin binder to eliminate or reduce aflatoxins. The present study results show that Bifidobacterium bifidum, a native probiotic isolated from chick's intestines in combination with PVP polymer, has a high ability (up to 90%) in removing AFB 1 from MRS medium and, therefore, can be used as a toxin binder for future studies.

Identification and evaluation of probiotic potential of Bifidobacterium breve AHC3 isolated from chicken intestines and its effect on necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) in newborn SD rats

“…Therefore, the chicken gastrointestinal tract is regarded as an excellent area for screening more strains with significant probiotic characteristics. Aalipanah et al reported that a strain of B.bifidum isolated from the chicken intestine showed potential probiotic characterization [37]. A strain of B. dentium from chicken intestines was isolated by Palacios et al, exhibiting the highest phytase activity [38].…”

“…The determination of antimicrobial activity is a necessary step in the screening process of Bifidobacterium [74,75]. Aalipanah et al [37] used disk diffusion method to evaluate the antibacterial property of B. bifidum strain originated from chicken intestinal tract, which had antibacterial property against E. coli. Jang et al [62] reported that B. longum CACC517 isolated from dog feces showed antibacterial activity against S. enteritidis and E. coli.…”
