Abstract: In the present study, a strain of food-grade microorganism Lactococcus lactis MG1363 was screened for its ability of patulin degradation. The effects of environmental temperature and pH value on patulin degradation by L. lactis MG1363 were assessed, and the mechanisms of patulin degradation were also studied by bacterial cells inactivation and crude enzyme extraction. The results indicated that temperature and pH influenced patulin degradation significantly (P<0.05), and the optimal condition was 30 ℃, pH value 5.5-6.0. The mechanisms of patulin degradation by L. lactis MG1363 involved both physical adsorption and enzymatic degradation, and the degradation relevant enzymes were located inside the bacterial cells. The property of patulin-degrading by L. lactis MG1363 was constitutive, nevertheless, the enzymatic activity of patulin degradation was enhanced by low amount of patulin.
