By the
findings of our study, it is apparent that cell viability is not a prerequisite
for removal of AFB1 by SC. Bueno et al. (2006) and Lee et al.
(2003) concluded that both viable and non-viable SC cells have the
same adsorbent ability to bind AFB1, which is consistent with data
on removal of AFB1 by SC-based products in PBS as reported in
present study
