    • Frontiers in Microbiology

    • Yalong Bai, Yan Cui, Yujuan Suo, Chunlei Shi, Dapeng Wang, Xianming Shi Magnetic separation is an efficient method for target enrichment and elimination of inhibitors in the molecular detection systems for foodborne pathogens. In this study, we prepared magnetic capture probes by modifying oligonucleotides complementary to target sequences on the surface of amino-modified silica-coated magnetic nanoparticles and optimized the conditions and parameters of probe synthesis and hybridization.

  20. The influence of the conditions of acquisition and storage of table eggs on changes in their quality and the presence of mycobiota and Fusarium mycotoxins

    • Poultry Science

    • ABSTRACTThe study showed that the hen housing system and egg storage conditions had significant influence on differences in the qualitative traits of eggs. The most rapid qualitative traits changes were observed in the eggs laid by the hens kept in the free-range and litter systems.

  21. Identification of common highly expressed genes of Salmonella Enteritidis by in silico prediction of gene expression and in vitro transcriptomic analysis

    • Poultry Science

    • ABSTRACTChickens are the reservoir host of Salmonella Enteritidis. Salmonella Enteritidis colonizes the gastro-intestinal tract of chickens and replicates within macrophages without causing clinically discernable illness. Persistence of S. Enteritidis in the hostile environments of intestinal tract and macrophages allows it to disseminate extra-intestinally to liver, spleen, and reproductive tract.

  22. Impact of a probiotic-based cleaning product on the microbiological profile of broiler litters and chicken caeca microbiota

    • Poultry Science

    • ABSTRACTThis study investigated for the first time the decontamination efficacy of a probiotic-based cleaning product containing Bacillus subtilis, Bacillus pumilus, and Bacillus megaterium spores on fresh and reused broiler litters during 3 rearing cycles of 6 wk each.

  24. Cryptic Cycling of Complexes Containing Fe(III) and Organic Matter by Phototrophic Fe(II)-Oxidizing Bacteria [Geomicrobiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Fe-organic matter (Fe-OM) complexes are abundant in the environment and, due to their mobility, reactivity, and bioavailability, play a significant role in the biogeochemical Fe cycle. In photic zones of aquatic environments, Fe-OM complexes can potentially be reduced and oxidized, and thus cycled, by light-dependent processes, including abiotic photoreduction of Fe(III)-OM complexes and microbial oxidation of Fe(II)-OM complexes, by anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria.

  25. Antimicrobial Particle-Based Novel Sanitizer for Enhanced Decontamination of Fresh Produce [Food Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Microbial food safety of raw or minimally processed fresh produce is a significant challenge. The current sanitation processes are effective for inactivation of bacteria in wash water but have limited efficacy (<2 log/g reduction) for inactivation of microbes on the surfaces of fresh produce. This study demonstrates a novel concept to enhance effectiveness of chlorine using a particle-based sanitizer to improve decontamination of fresh produce.
