  19. Combination of Liquid Chromatography with MultivariateCurve Resolution-Alternating Least-Squares (MCR-ALS) in the Quantitationof Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons Present in Paprika Samples

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • This work presents a strategy for quantitating polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in smoked paprika samples. For this, a liquid chromatographic method with fluorimetric detection (HPLC-FLD) was optimized. To resolve some interference co-eluting with the target analytes, the second-order multivariate curve resolution-alternating least-squares (MCR-ALS) algorithm has been employed combined with this liquid chromatographic method.

  21. Energy transfer in inorganic-biological organisms [Biophysics and Computational Biology]

    • Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences

    • The rise of inorganic–biological hybrid organisms for solar-to-chemical production has spurred mechanistic investigations into the dynamics of the biotic–abiotic interface to drive the development of next-generation systems. The model system, Moorella thermoacetica–cadmium sulfide (CdS), combines an inorganic semiconductor nanoparticle light harvester with an acetogenic bacterium to drive the photosynthetic reduction...

  23. Toxins, Vol. 8, Pages 301: Higher Fusarium Toxin Accumulation in Grain of Winter Triticale Lines Inoculated with Fusarium culmorum as Compared with Wheat

    • Toxins

    • Resistance to Fusarium head blight in 32 winter triticale and 34 winter wheat accessions was evaluated. Triticale and wheat were sown in field experiments in two locations. At the time of flowering, heads were inoculated with three Fusarium culmorum isolates. Fusarium head blight index was scored and after the harvest percentage of Fusarium damaged kernels was assessed. Grain was analysed for type B trichothecenes (deoxynivalenol and derivatives, nivalenol) and zearalenone (ZEN) content.

  24. Functional Characterization of EscK (Orf4), a Sorting Platform Component of the Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli Injectisome

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • The type III secretion system (T3SS) is a supramolecular machine used by many bacterial pathogens to translocate effector proteins directly into the eukaryotic host cell cytoplasm. Enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) is an important cause of infantile diarrheal disease in underdeveloped countries. EPEC virulence relies on a T3SS encoded within a chromosomal pathogenicity island known as the locus of enterocyte effacement (LEE).

  25. Antibodies damage fimbrial resilience, causing them to be stiff and tangled

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Since adhesion fimbriae are a major virulence factor for many pathogenic Gram-negative bacteria, they are potential targets for antibodies. Fimbriae are commonly required to initiate colonization leading to disease, and their success as adhesion organelles lies in their ability to both initiate and sustain bacterial attachment to epithelial cells.
