The results indicated that there were significant differences (P < 0.05) between the strains in their ability to reduce AFM1 in MRS broth media in the viable stage, heated stage and acid treatment. L. plantrium was the highest strain capable of removing AFM1. Yoghurt fermented by 50% yoghurt culture (S. thermophilus and L. bulgaricus) and 50% L. plantrium recorded the highest reduction in the level of AFM1 at the end of storage period
