  1. Low Toxicity of Deoxynivalenol-3-Glucoside in Microbial Cells

    • Toxins

    • Host plants excrete a glucosylation enzyme onto the plant surface that changes mycotoxins derived from fungal secondary metabolites to glucosylated products. Deoxynivalenol-3-glucoside (DON3G) is synthesized by grain uridine diphosphate-glucosyltransferase, and is found worldwide, although information on its toxicity is lacking. Here, we conducted growth tests and DNA microarray analysis to elucidate the characteristics of DON3G.

    • Toxins

    • A single laboratory validation study of a rapid and sensitive quantitative method for the analysis of cereulide toxin produced by Bacillus cereus using ultra high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray-tandem mass spectrometry is presented. The analysis of this cyclic peptide toxin was validated for pasta and rice samples using a newly presented synthetic cereulide peptide standard, together with 13C6-cereulide that previously have not been commercially available.

  13. A metalloprotease secreted by the Type II Secretion System links Vibrio cholerae with collagen

    • Journal of Bacteriology

    • Vibrio cholerae is autochthonous to various aquatic niches and the etiological agent of the life-threatening diarrheal disease, cholera. The persistence of V. cholerae in natural habitats is a crucial factor in the epidemiology of cholera. In contrast to the well studied V. cholerae-chitin connection, scarce information is available about the factors employed by the bacteria for the interaction with collagens.

    • Journal of Food Processing and Preservation

    • The present study investigated the effect of sumacSWE) and barberry water extracts (BWE) on microbial growth and chemical changes in ground sheep meat during refrigerated storage. The meat samples were explored for changes in total viable count (TVC), lactic acid bacteria (LAB), coliforms, yeasts and Listeria monocytogenes populations as well as thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) value, metmyoglobin (metMb), pH value and sensory quality.

  18. Covalent Immobilization of Recombinant Organophosphorus Hydrolase on Spores of Bacillus subtilis

    • Journal of Applied Microbiology

    • Aims
      Organophosphorus pesticides are widely used in agriculture. Accordingly decontamination of these pesticides and their residual in environment is an important aim of researchers. One of the best approaches is enzymatic detoxification of these compounds with organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH). The immobilization of OPH on environmentally friendly supports is of great importance for developing stabilized enzymes to degradation of organophosphorus compounds.
