From: Microbial detoxification of eleven food and feed contaminating trichothecene mycotoxins
Mass spectrometric evidence of microbial de-epoxidation and de-acetylation of HT-2 trichothecene mycotoxin. The upper panel illustrates the mass spectrometer chromatograph of the de-acetylated and de-epoxidized products. The middle and lower panels show the mass spectra of the transformed compounds. Arrows on the upper panel indicate the targeted acetyl (red) and epoxy (blue) functional groups of HT-2 toxin. Red and blue arrows on the middle and lower panels identify the degradation sites of HT-2 toxin. dA.HT-2 = de-acetylated HT-2, and dE.HT-2 = de-epoxidized HT-2 toxin
