  5. Catalytic hairpin assembly combined with graphene oxide for the detection of emetic Bacillus cereus in milk

    • Journal of Dairy Science

    • A fluorescence assay combined with PCR, catalytic hairpin assembly (CHA), and graphene oxide (GO) was established to detect emetic Bacillus cereus in milk samples. The processes of the assay are not new, but components of the processes make the assay useful. Two partially complementary hairpin probes (H1 and FAM-H2) were designed according to the target single-strand DNA (ssDNA).

    • ABSTRACTThe present study tested whether tetramethylpyrazine (TMP) supplementation could influence the growth performance, Salmonella Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium) load, inflammasomes, cytokines, and chemokines in broilers. Treatments were a 2 × 2 factorial design, including negative control (NC), S. Typhimurium challenge (SC), and NC/SC + TMP (150 mg/kg of diet).

  19. Extragenic suppression of elongation factor P mutant phenotypes in Erwin

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Elongation factor P (EF-P) facilitates the translation of certain peptide motifs, including those with multiple proline residues. EF-P must be post-translationally modified for full functionality; in Enterobacteria this is accomplished by two enzymes, EpmA and EpmB, which catalyze the β-lysylation of EF-P at a conserved lysine position.

  25. [ASAP] Aflatoxin B1 Induces Immunotoxicity through the DNA Methyltransferase-Mediated JAK2/STAT3 Pathway in 3D4/21 Cells

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • As the most toxic mycotoxin of all of the fungal toxins, aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) has carcinogenesis, heptotoxicity, and immunotoxicity. DNA methylation plays a critical role in gene expression regulation of the pathological process. However, the relationship between DNA methylation and AFB1-induced immunotoxicity was not yet reported.
