Development of Fluorometric Assay for the Determination of β-glucosidase Activity in Brewing Yeasts

Creator:

Molitor, Andrew

Abstract:

Glycosides are natural molecules found in many plants and hold potential to release new flavors and aromas into alcoholic beverages, particularly beer and wine. One way to free these flavors and aromas is by enzymatic hydrolysis catalyzed by βglucosidase. The activities of β-glucosidase are strain and species dependent in yeast...

Establishing Caenorhabditis elegans as a model for Mycobacterium avium subspecieshominissuis infection and intestinal colonization

Creator:

Ziaie, Navid

Abstract:

Mycobacterium avium subspecies hominissuis (MAH) causes potentially lethal opportunistic infections in immunocompromised individuals. Lack of a good animal model system currently hinders in vivo study of MAH virulence. Here we applied the tractable organism Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), as a surrogate host to study the virulence of MAH. Worms were...
