Analysis of Betta splendens erythrophore responses to Bacillus cereus cultured in different media

Creator:

Austin, Melissa J.

Abstract:

Biological agents and their products commonly cause foodborne illnesses. In the United States it is estimated that there are over 76 million cases of foodborne illnesses each year, resulting in an economic loss of approximately $40 billion.

Bacterial pathogens and associated toxins involved in erythrophore cell aggregation

Hutchison, Janine R.

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...
