The present study was conducted to investigate the ability of two probiotic strains, L. acidophilus PTCC 1643 and L. rhamnosus PTCC 1637, to bind aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁, 20 ng/ml) in comparison with yogurt starter cultures, at equal bacterial count (~ 10⁹ LogCFU/ml) during a 21-day storage period at 4 °C. All assessed treatments exhibited high percentages of AFB₁-binding, ranged from 64.56 to 96.58%. However, the ability of probiotic bacteria was statistically higher than yogurt starter cultures. Aflatoxin binding ability of the selected lactic acid bacteria was dependent on both time and bacteria species. The highest and the lowest percentages of AFB_1-removal was observed at 11th day of cold storage by L. rhamnosus (96.58 ± 3.97%) and at the first day of storage for yogurt starter cultures (64.56 ± 5.32%), respectively. The stability of bacterial cells-AFB₁ complex was remarkable, since only 0.84–26.75% of bounded AFB₁ was released from bacterial cells after 3 times washing during the storage period.

本研究旨在调查两种益生菌菌株（嗜酸乳杆菌PTCC 1643 和鼠李糖乳杆菌PTCC 1637）与酸奶发酵剂培养物在相同细菌浓度下结合黄曲霉毒素 B ₁ （AFB _1，20 ng/ml）的能力。 4 °C 下 21 天储存期间的计数 (~ 10 ⁹ LogCFU/ml)。所有评估的处理均表现出高百分比的 AFB ₁结合，范围为 64.56% 至 96.58%。然而，益生菌的能力在统计上高于酸奶发酵剂培养物。所选乳酸菌的黄曲霉毒素结合能力取决于时间和细菌种类。鼠李糖乳杆菌 ( L. rhamnosus)冷藏第 11 天 (96.58 ± 3.97%) 和酸奶发酵剂冷藏第一天 (64.56 ± 5.32%) 观察到 AFB _1-去除率最高和最低。细菌细胞-AFB ₁复合物的稳定性非常显着，因为在储存期间洗涤3次后，只有0.84-26.75%的结合AFB ₁从细菌细胞中释放出来。
