Research Publications (Food Safety)

This page tracks research articles published in national and international peer-reviewed journals. Recent articles are available ahead of print and searchable by Journal, Article Title, and Category. Research publications are tracked across six categories: Bacterial Pathogens, Chemical Contaminants, Natural Toxins, Parasites, Produce Safety, and Viruses. Articles produced by USDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) and FDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) are also tracked in Scopus.

  17. Control of recombination directionality by the Listeria phage A118 protein Gp44 and the coiled-coil motif of its serine integrase

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • The serine integrase of phage A118 catalyzes integrative recombination between attP on the phage and a specific attB locus on the chromosome of Listeria monocytogenes but is unable to promote excisive recombination between the hybrid attL and attR sites found on the integrated prophage without assistance from a Recombination Directionality Factor (RDF). We have identified and characterized the phage-encoded RDF, Gp44, which activates the A118 integrase for excision and inhibits integration.
