Abstract:: Nisin, an antimicrobial peptide used in food preservation was evaluated for thermal stability. Nisin retained antimicrobial activity after having been heated at 121°C for seven hours. Anhydrous nisin and concentrated nisin solutions (5-10 mg/ml) were still active after having been heated up to 190°C or 230°C. When exposed to high...

Abstract:: With rising concentrations of CO₂ in the Earth's atmosphere causing concern about climate change, many solutions are being presented to decrease emissions. One of the proposed solutions is to sequester excess CO₂ in geological formations such as basalt. The deep subsurface is known to harbor much of the microbial biomass...

Abstract:: Hatchery-reared salmonid fish routinely encounter stress due to handling, barging, tagging, and overcrowding. It has been demonstrated that there exists a direct correlation between stress and transient immune suppression which can last for many days in fish. Epizootic viral infections routinely appear in hatcheries and can have a devastating effect...

Abstract:: Current detection methods for bacterial contamination rely on structure based detection of proteins and nucleic acids. While these methods are easy to use and reliable, they cannot evaluate the toxicity of a sample and the potential to cause disease. Previously, erythrophore cells derived from Betta splendens had been suggested as...

Abstract:: Clostridium perfringens is a Gram-positive, anaerobic, spore-forming bacterium that can produce as many as 17 different toxins and are responsible to cause a wide array of gastrointestinal (GI) and histotoxic diseases in humans and animals. As individual strains produce a subset of these toxins, C. perfringens strains can be classified...

Creator:: Huang, I-Hsiu
Abstract:: Clostridium perfringens type A isolates, an anaerobic enterotoxigenic spore forming bacterium, are the third leading cause of food-borne disease in the United States. Factors that contribute to the virulence of C. perfringens include the ability of the bacterium to form heat resistant spores and to produce an enterotoxin (CPE). Although...
