4.4.3. Study of the Effect of Mycotoxin on *Lactobacillus* Cell Count

In addition to *Lactobacillus* strains grown in 15 mL MRS broth in the presence of 0.2 µg/mL mycotoxin, the number of bacterial cells was also determined under the same conditions but in mycotoxin free MRS broth by plating on MRS agar to determine the effect of the mycotoxin on the bacterial growth.
