Figure 1. Remained estrogen effect in the zearalenone metabolism of Rhodococcus pyridinivorans analysed by the bioluminescens yeast reporter system (BLYES).

Figure 1

The results show that the incubation with Rhodococcus pyridinivorans K408 decreased the estrogenic activity of zearalenone. After 5 days, remained estrogen effect was 81.75% compared to control. The results of the BLYES based estrogenic biotest showed good correlation with ZEA concentration measurement via HPLC-FLD.
