  1. LysPBC2, a Novel Endolysin Harboring a Bacillus cereus Spore Binding Domain [Genetics and Molecular Biology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • To control the spore-forming human pathogen Bacillus cereus, we isolated and characterized a novel endolysin, LysPBC2, from a newly isolated B. cereus phage, PBC2. Compared to the narrow host range of phage PBC2, LysPBC2 showed very broad lytic activity against all Bacillus, Listeria, and Clostridium species tested.

      Abstract
      Background

      Bisphenol A (BPA) has been associated with male reproductive dysfunction. However, few studies have assessed BPA according to the cause of male infertility.

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • A QuEChERS-type method without matrix interference was designed and developed to determine organophosphorus pesticide residues in edible vegetable oils, based on dispersive solid-phase extraction with cleanup using UiO-66 as sorbent. Microporous UiO-66 directly and selectively adsorbed organophosphorus pesticides and excluded interfering compounds. Clean analytes were obtained by elution and analyzed using gas chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry.

  25. Effects of antibiotic residues in milk on growth, ruminal fermentation, and microbial community of preweaning dairy calves

    • Journal of Dairy Science

    • The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of antibiotic residues in milk on growth, ruminal fermentation, and microbial community of dairy calves in their first 35 d of age. Twenty newborn Holstein bull calves were assigned to 1 of 2 treatments equally: milk replacer without antibiotics (control) and milk replacer plus 4 antibiotics: 0.024 mg/L of penicillin, 0.025 mg/L of streptomycin, 0.1 mg/L of tetracycline, and 0.33 mg/L of ceftiofur (ANT).
