Tannase as zearalenone's detoxificant

Tannase has been used extensively pharmaceuticals and chemical industries. Zearalenone (ZEN) is a myco-estrogen in animals and a phytohormone in plants mainly produced by Fusarium graminearum. It leads to serious and chronic health-damaging effect on humans and animals. The aim of this study to investigate tannase ability to inhibit zearalenone production by Fusarium graminearum. Fish are susceptible to a wide variety of bacterial pathogens. Many of these bacteria capable of causing disease are considered by some to be saprophytic in nature. This bacteria only become pathogens when fishes are physiologically unbalanced, nutritionally deficient, or there are other stressors, i.e., poor water quality, overstocking, which allow opportunistic bacterial infections to proceed. Some of these bacterial pathogens of fishes are fastidious and require special growth media for laboratory culture. Others grow at different temperatures, dependent upon the aquatic environmental temperature of the fish
