Project code: FLI-ITE-08-Br-0067
Contract period: 01.03.2020 - 28.02.2023
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: food security, animal feed, mycotoxins, DON

i) Evolving an epoxide hydrolase via directed evolution for efficient biocatalytic transformation of the mycotoxin deoxynivalenol (DON) which is a major concern to food and feed safety; ii) evaluation of the synthetic DON hydrolysis product for its decreased toxicity, and iii) developing a liquid feeding protocol aiming to detoxify DON during this process employing the evolved epoxide hydrolase enzyme.
