    Abstract:
    This study describes the screening of soil bacteria for their capability to degrade zearalenone (ZEN), employing an enrichment technique in which ZEN is used as the sole carbon source. Two isolates that were able to degrade ZEN belonged to the genus Pseudomonas according to biochemical characterization and 16S rRNA gene sequence and were named as Pseudomonas alcaliphila TH-C1 and Pseudomonas plecoglossicida TH-L1, respectively. The results showed that the degradation rates of P. alcaliphila TH-C1 and P. plecoglossicida TH-L1 for ZEN (2 μg/ml) were 68 ± 0.85 % and 57 ± 0.73%, when incubated for 72 h at 30 °C in a rotary shaker (160 rpm) and detected by high-performance liquid chromatograms (HPLC). These results suggest that the two Pseudomonas strains are new bacterial resource for degrading ZEN and can provide a new approach for the detoxification of ZEN.
