AflatoxinB1-Detoxifizyme is produced by Armillariella Tabescens intracellularly. Its gene is analyzed to have no introns and has been recombined into a plasmid before. Extraction is rather difficult and commercialization has not been able to be done yet.

Zearalenone Hydorlase is produced by Clonostachys Rosea. Its gene is also analyzed to have no introns and has been recombined into a plasmid before. Similar to ADTZ, commercialization has not been done yet.


Natural E. coli secretes various proteins by signal peptides that recognize translocons. We focus on the SEC pathway that lets the protein fold in the periplasm first, as it usually results in more correct folding, correct formation of disulfide bridges, minimizes degradation, and is less likely to result in accumulation.
