Using B.clausii to reduce the effects of aflatoxin B1

Abstract

In the experiment, a bacteria (B. clausii) was more efficient, with a percentage of inhibition of 58.03 percent, while a bacteria (B. subtilis) had a percentage of inhibition of (55.28 percent), so it was chosen in our study to test its efficiency as a probiotic to remove toxins in rats. So 12 rats were divided into four groups, each with three rats. The first group was the control group, which was given only food and water, and the second group was given (0.5) ml of aflatoxin poison for each rat. For each rat, the third group received (0.5) ml of B clausii suspension and the fourth group received (0.5) ml of B. clausii suspension + (0.5) ml of aflatoxin toxin) for 21 days. The findings suggest that B.subtilis bacteria have effects. By increasing the weights of male rats inoculated with B.subtilis alone and the group (B.clausii + aflatoxin toxin), B.subtilis bacteria were able to remove a large percentage of the negative effects of aflatoxin.
