  3. Gene expression of Aspergillus flavus strains on a cheese model system to control aflatoxin production

    • Journal of Dairy Science

    • The expression of genes associated with aflatoxin biosynthesis by different Aspergillus flavus strains growing on a cheese model system has not been studied. To control aflatoxin biosynthesis, it would be useful to understand the changes in gene expression during cheesemaking and relate those changes to toxin production.

  11. [ASAP] New Levan-Type Exopolysaccharide from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens as an Antiadhesive Agent against Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • A special levan-type exopolysaccharide (EPS) from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens JN4 with antiadhesive activity against enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) was purified and identified. Chemical analysis indicated that EPS-JN4 with a low molecular weight of 8 kDa is composed of fructose and glucose with a molar ratio of 46.1:1.

  12. [ASAP] Solidification of a Switchable Solvent-Based QuEChERS Method for Detection of 16 Pesticides in Some Fruits and Vegetables

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • n-Octadecylamine was adopted as a cleanup agent to develop a novel solidification of a switchable solvent-based QuEChERS method. At higher temperatures (such as 55 °C), n-octadecylamine can melt into a liquid, allowing effective extraction of matrix interferences in acetonitrile solution (i.e., in dispersive liquid–liquid microextraction). At lower temperatures, n-octadecylamine carrying matrix interferences can rapidly solidify and easily separate from the acetonitrile solution.

  13. The Type III Secretion System (T3SS)-Translocon of Atypical Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (aEPEC) Can Mediate Adherence

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • The intimin protein is the major adhesin involved in the intimate adherence of atypical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (aEPEC) strains to epithelial cells, but little is known about the structures involved in their early colonization process. A previous study demonstrated that the type III secretion system (T3SS) plays an additional role in the adherence of an Escherichia albertii strain.

  14. New Insights on the Role of the pLMST6 Plasmid in Listeria monocytogenes Biocide Tolerance and Virulence

    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • Listeria monocytogenes the causative agent of listeriosis is an important public health concern and food safety challenge. Increased tolerance of this bacterium to benzalkonium chloride (BC), an antibacterial agent widely used in industrial settings, is a growing issue. Plasmid pLMST6 harbouring the gene of the multidrug efflux pump protein EmrC has been recently linked to enhanced BC tolerance and meningitis due to L. monocytogenes ST6 strains.

  23. [ASAP] Using Magnetic Multiwalled Carbon Nanotubes as Modified QuEChERS Adsorbent for Simultaneous Determination of Multiple Mycotoxins in Grains by UPLC-MS/MS

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • The simultaneous detection of multiple mycotoxins is important due to the increased toxic effects of combined mycotoxins in grains. In this research, a combination of modified QuEChERS with ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was used for simultaneous detection of 20 mycotoxins in grains.
