  16. Characterization of Edible Active Coating Based on Alginate–Thyme Oil–Propionic Acid for the Preservation of Fresh Chicken Breast Fillets

    • Journal of Food Processing and Preservation

    • Chicken meat presents serious problems of processing and storageEdible coatings are used commercially to improve the shelf life of fresh foods. The aim of this study is to develop an effective antimicrobial edible coating to improve the shelf life and safety of fresh chicken meat. The effect of propionic acid and thyme essential oils as antimicrobial and antioxidant compounds incorporated into alginate-based edible coating was evaluated.

  17. Simple Pretreatment and Portable UV-Vis Spectrum Instrument for the Rapid Detection of Melamine in Milk Products

    • Journal of Food Quality

    • In this paperwe report a simple and reliable method for detection of melamine (MEL) in the field of milk products safety screening. This method is developed based on gold nanoparticle (AuNP) probe as the presence of MEL can induce the AuNPs to aggregate and make its color change from wine red to purple. This color change can be quantitatively recorded by a portable UV-vis spectrophotometer so as to calculate the amount of MEL simultaneously.

  21. Tulane Virus as a Potential Surrogate To Mimic Norovirus Behavior in Oysters [Environmental Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Oyster contamination by noroviruses is an important health and economic problem. The present study aimed to compare the behaviors of Norwalk virus (the prototype genogroup I norovirus) and two culturable viruses: Tulane virus and mengovirus.

  22. Survival of Listeria monocytogenes in Soil Requires AgrA-Mediated Regulation [Environmental Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • In a recent paper, we demonstrated that inactivation of the Agr system affects the patterns of survival of Listeria monocytogenes (A.-L. Vivant, D. Garmyn, L. Gal, and P. Piveteau, Front Cell Infect Microbiol 4:160, http://dx.doi.org/10.3389/fcimb.2014.00160).

  23. Destruction of the Capsid and Genome of GII.4 Human Norovirus Occurs during Exposure to Metal Alloys Containing Copper [Spotlight]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Human norovirus (HuNoV) represents a significant public health burden worldwide and can be environmentally transmitted. Copper surfaces have been shown to inactivate the cultivable surrogate murine norovirus, but no such data exist for HuNoV. The purpose of this study was to characterize the destruction of GII.4 HuNoV and virus-like particles (VLPs) during exposure to copper alloy surfaces.

  24. Living in an Extremely Polluted Environment: Clues from the Genome of Melanin-Producing Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. pectinolytica 34melT [Evolutionary and Genomic Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Aeromonas salmonicida subsp. pectinolytica 34melT can be considered an extremophile due to the characteristics of the heavily polluted river from which it was isolated. While four subspecies of A. salmonicida are known fish pathogens, 34melT belongs to the only subspecies isolated solely from the environment. Genome analysis revealed a high metabolic versatility, the capability to cope with diverse stress agents, and the lack of several virulence factors found in pathogenic Aeromonas.

  25. Automated Sampling Procedures Supported by High Persistence of Bacterial Fecal Indicators and Bacteroidetes Genetic Microbial Source Tracking Markers in Municipal Wastewater during Short-Term Storage at 5{degrees}C [Public and Environmental Health...

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Because of high diurnal water quality fluctuations in raw municipal wastewater, the use of proportional autosampling over a period of 24 h at municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to evaluate carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus removal has become a standard in many countries. Microbial removal or load estimation at municipal WWTPs, however, is still based on manually recovered grab samples.
