ZEA degradation in engineered E. coli BL21(DE3) PLySs cells. A and B represent the results of ZEA degradation in growing cells. C and D represent the degradation results of ZEA and its derivatives using resting cells induced by IPTG after 2 and 6 h, respectively. The peaks of ZEA in the representative HPLC chromatograms at each time point are indicated with black arrows. Tukey’s multiple comparisons test was used for multiple comparisons, **** p < 0.0001
