Effective degradation of zearalenone by multiple microbial isolates

. This bacterium demonstrated ZEN-degrading ability (up to 0.5 mg/mL) and an elevated level of tolerance to various antibiotics (Multiple Antibiotic Resistance (MAR) index = 0.07). Additional research is necessary to investigate its potential application in the detoxification of ZEN.
