The ability of different Devosia type-strains to epimerize DON or to selectively reduce 3-keto-DON to 3-epi-DON. The simultaneous oxidation and reduction of the C3 carbon (epimerization) in DON (Top) or the selective reduction of 3-keto-DON to 3-epi-DON (Bottom) were tested after growing the pure isolates within the respective media preparations recommended by type-strains suppliers (DMSZ & ATCC culture collections). The concentrations of DON, 3-keto-DON, and 3-epi-DON were monitored as reported within the Materials and Methods section (after 24 h incubations). While experiments were conducted in triplicates to confirm the observed tendencies, no quantitative statistical inferences between strains are suggested. The incorporated arrows highlight the presence of traces of different DON metabolites.
