  1. DUF3380 Domain from a Salmonella Phage Endolysin Shows Potent N-Acetylmuramidase Activity [Enzymology and Protein Engineering]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Bacteriophage-encoded endolysins are highly diverse enzymes that cleave the bacterial peptidoglycan layer. Current research focuses on their potential applications in medicine, in food conservation, and as biotechnological tools. Despite the wealth of applications relying on the use of endolysin, little is known about the enzymatic properties of these enzymes, especially in the case of endolysins of bacteriophages infecting Gram-negative species.

  2. A Modular, Tn7-Based System for Making Bioluminescent or Fluorescent Salmonella and Escherichia coli Strains [Methods]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Our goal was to develop a robust tagging method that can be used to track bacterial strains in vivo. To address this challenge, we adapted two existing systems: a modular plasmid-based reporter system (pCS26) that has been used for high-throughput gene expression studies in Salmonella and Escherichia coli and Tn7 transposition.

  3. Simultaneous Enrichment of Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons and Cu2+ in Water Using Tetraazacalix[2]arene[2]triazine as a Solid-PhaseExtraction Selector

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • On the basis of the definite retention mechanism proven by the stationary phase for high-performance liquid chromatography, tetraazacalix[2]arene[2]triazine featuring multiple recognition sites was assessed as a solid-phase extraction (SPE) selector.

  20. Changes in Microbial Composition and the Prevalence of Foodborne Pathogens in Crab Marinated in Soy Sauce Produced by Six Manufacturing Plants

    • Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture

    • ABSTRACT

      BACKGROUND

      The present study examined the changes in microbiological composition during the production process of crab marinated in soy sauce, potential microbial hazards, potential contamination routes, and effective critical control points. Crab and soy sauce samples were obtained from six different manufacturing plants at different stages and the microbiological content was comprehensively assessed in quantitative and qualitative analyses.

  21. Toxins, Vol. 8, Pages 232: Hydrolytic Fate of 3/15-Acetyldeoxynivalenol in Humans: Specific Deacetylation by the Small Intestine and Liver Revealed Using in Vitro and ex Vivo Approaches

    • Toxins

    • In addition to deoxynivalenol (DON), acetylated derivatives, i.e., 3-acetyl and 15-acetyldexynivalenol (or 3/15ADON), are present in cereals leading to exposure to these mycotoxins. Animal and human studies suggest that 3/15ADON are converted into DON after their ingestion through hydrolysis of the acetyl moiety, the site(s) of such deacetylation being still uncharacterized.
