  8. [ASAP] Comparative Study of Four Analytical Methods for the Routine Determination of Acrylamide in Black Ripe Olives

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Reducing acrylamide in foods is an important scientific and regulatory goal. Black ripe olives contain significant levels of acrylamide. However, unlike cereal and potato products, there are no standardized methods or certified reference materials for olives and no harmonization between laboratories performing routine analyses. The industry has observed inconsistencies between laboratories using different analytical methods.

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • The Zur-regulon is central to zinc homeostasis in the zinc-resistant bacterium Cupriavidus metallidurans. It comprises the transcription regulator Zur, the zinc importer ZupT, and three members of the COG0523 family of metal-chaperoning G3E-type GTPases, annotated as CobW1, CobW2, and CobW3. The operon structures of the zur and cobW1 loci were determined.

  21. Microcin PDI Inhibits Antibiotic-Resistant Strains of Escherichia coli and Shigella through a Mechanism of Membrane Disruption and Protection by Homotrimer Self-Immunity [Environmental Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Microcin PDI (MccPDI), a class IIa microcin that is produced by Escherichia coli strains 25 and 284, is known to inhibit foodborne pathogenic enterohemorrhagic E. coli serotypes O157:H7 and O26. Here we demonstrate that MccPDI can inhibit Shigella strains and E. coli isolates that are multidrug resistant, the latter including strains known to cause urinary tract infections in people and companion animals. Two exceptions out of 17 strains were identified. One of the two resistant E.
