  5. Quorum sensing regulates the transcription of lateral flagellar genes in Vibrio parahaemolyticus

    • Future Microbiology

    • Aim: Investigation of the lateral flagellar (Laf) genes transcription by the quorum sensing (QS) regulators AphA and OpaR in Vibrio parahaemolyticus. Materials & methods: Regulation mechanisms were assessed by combined utilization of swarming motility assay, qPCR, LacZ fusion, EMSA and DNase I footprinting. Results: AphA and OpaR oppositely regulate swarming motility and Laf genes.

  7. Environmental conditions and serotype affect Listeria monocytogenes susceptibility to phage treatment in a laboratory cheese model

    • Journal of Dairy Science

    • Listeria monocytogenes can survive and grow in a variety of environments, including refrigeration, making it difficult to control and highlighting the importance of optimizing control strategies against this pathogen. Listeria phages are attractive biocontrol agents because phages bind to specific wall teichoic acids (WTA) on the bacterial cell wall, inhibiting pathogens without disrupting the normal microbiota or structure of the food.

  8. Saltatory rolling circle amplification for sensitive visual detection of Staphylococcus aureus in milk

    • Journal of Dairy Science

    • Monitoring Staphylococcus aureus with high sensitivity is very important for ensuring milk quality and food safety. In this study, we used a rapid nucleic acid isothermal amplification method, saltatory rolling circle amplification (SRCA), for the detection of Staph. aureus in milk. The results of the SRCA method can be assessed visually by the presence of white precipitate or by fluorescence measurement. Thirteen Staph. aureus strains and 31 non-Staph.

  11. [ASAP] Enterobacter asburiae Reduces Cadmium Toxicity in Maize Plants by Repressing Iron Uptake-Associated Pathways

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Soil microbes have recently been utilized to improve cadmium (Cd) tolerance and lower its accumulation in plants. Nevertheless, whether rhizobacteria can prevent Cd uptake by graminaceous plants and the underlying mechanisms remain elusive.

  15. Cyclic di-GMP Increases Catalase Production and Hydrogen Peroxide Tolerance in Vibrio cholerae [Genetics and Molecular Biology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Vibrio cholerae is a Gram-negative bacterial pathogen that causes the disease cholera, which affects nearly 1 million people each year. In between outbreaks, V. cholerae resides in fresh and salt water environments, where it is able to persist through changes in temperature, oxygen, and salinity. One key characteristic that promotes environmental persistence of V. cholerae is the ability to form multicellular communities, called biofilms, that often adhere to biotic and abiotic sources.

  16. Clinostat Rotation Affects Metabolite Transportation and Increases Organic Acid Production by Aspergillus carbonarius, as Revealed by Differential Metabolomic Analysis [Environmental Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Contamination by fungi may pose a threat to the long-term operation of the International Space Station because fungi produce organic acids that corrode equipment and mycotoxins that harm human health. Microgravity is an unavoidable and special condition in the space station. However, the influence of microgravity on fungal metabolism has not been well studied. Clinostat rotation is widely used to simulate the microgravity condition in studies carried out on Earth.
