Characterization of novel exopolysaccharide producing lactic acid bacteria

Creator:

Garcia, Roberto A., III

Abstract:

Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB), an important group of organisms in modern food production, are known to secrete a unique compound called exopolysaccharide (EPS). EPS is economically important because it enhances functional properties in food and may confer beneficial health effects to consumers. Novel strains of Lactococcus lactis, Streptococcus thermophilus, and...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Roberto A. Garcia III
The role of Salmonella typhimurium type three secretion system (T3SS) and effector proteins in chromatophore cell response.

Creator:

Farhad, Mohammad

Abstract:

Bacterial contamination of food poses a great risk to human health worldwide. A chromatophore cell-based biosensor, utilizing B. splendens erythrophore cells, is an emerging technology that has shown potential to detect bacterial toxicity based on function-dependent mechanisms. Previous studies have investigated the response of erythrophore cells to foodborne pathogens, pesticides,...

A comparative study of fish coloration and toxicant responses in a chromatophore cell-based biosensor

Creator:

Roach, Holly B.

Abstract:

Detection of both biological and chemical environmental toxicants is essential in the assessment of risk to human health. Cell-based biosensors are capable of activity- based detection of toxicity. Chromatophore cells, responsible for the pigmentation of poikilothermic animal, have shown immense potential as cell-based biosensors in the detection of a broad...
