The relatively low concentration of pathogen indicators, such Salmonella, in composting sometimes causes a problem with detection when using the conventional techniques. The presence of viable but non-culturable (VBNC) organisms is also a…
Accurate enumeration of Salmonella spp. is important for assessing whether this pathogen has survived composting. Recent literature has reported that enumeration of Salmonella spp. using standard microbiological methods has a numbers of…
An accurate method for enumerating pathogen indicators, such as Escherichia coli (E. coli), and Salmonella spp. is important for assessing the safety of compost samples. This study aimed to determine the occurrence of pathogen indicators in…
Fermentative recycling of organic matter is important for a sustainable society, but the functionality of fermented products needs to be adequately evaluated. Here, we clarify the antipathogenic properties for fish of a compost-type feed…
Composting is defined as the biological decomposition and stabilization of organic substrates under aerobic conditions to allow the development of thermophilic temperatures. This thermophilic temperature is a result of biologically produced…
The development of an aptamer-based impedimetric sensor for typing of bacteria (AIST-B) is presented. Highly specific DNA aptamers to Salmonella enteritidis were selected via Cell-SELEX technique. Twelve rounds of selection were performed;…
The relative importance of micelle solubilization and Krafft temperature on the appraisal of the flocculation rate is studied using a dodecane-in-water nanoemulsion as a model system. In 0.5 mM solutions of sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS),…
Fish diseases in aquaculture constitute a significant hazard to nutriment security. Identification of infected fishes in aquaculture remains challenging to find out at the early stage due to the dearth of necessary infrastructure. The…
Flexible dosing and ease of swallowing are key factors when designing oral drug delivery systems for paediatric and geriatric populations. Multi-particulate oral dosage forms can offer significant benefits over conventional capsules and…
Hypothesis Droplets ejected from the host can directly settle on a substrate as fomite. In industrial environments, especially the food processing industries, the components maintained at specific temperatures can act as a substrate,…
Linear waste management systems are unsustainable and contribute to environmental degradation, economic inequity, and health disparities. Among the array of environmental challenges stemming from anthropogenic impacts, the management of…
Cohesive effects between fine-grained sediment particles greatly influence their effective settling rate and erodibility. Many studies have observed a qualitative difference in settling dynamics between clays in freshwater, where particles…
The occurrence of polar pesticides in sediments has not been extensively investigated because of their relatively poor hydrophobicity and apparently less persistence in the environment. However, their continuous release into the aquatic…
The study investigates the effectiveness of using low-pressure oxygen plasma, generated by microwave discharge, to sterilize bacterial spores of Bacillus Stearothermophilus and Bacillus Subtilis. Plasma, a highly ionized state of matter…
Salmonella expresses bacterial microcompartments (MCPs) upon 1,2-propanediol exposure. MCPs are nanoscale protein-bound shells that encase enzymes for the cofactor-dependent 1,2-propanediol metabolism. They are hypothesized to limit…
Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) from cationic globular micellar solutions composed of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and in water was studied with contrast variation approach. Extensive computational studies have demonstrated that the…
Antibody-functionalized carbon nanotube devices have been suggested for use as bacterial detectors for monitoring of food purity in transit from the farm to the kitchen. Here we report progress towards that goal by demonstrating specific…
The transmission dynamics of the common enteric pathogen Lawsonia intracellularis are not fully understood. To evaluate the transmission parameters of this pathogen, one and two conventional weaned pigs, were inoculated with a pure culture…
The detection of suspended single particles (SSPs) in water is a crucial element for monitoring water ecosystems. Although there are a variety of sensory methods, it is still an unrealized goal to combine multi-wavelength polarized light…
Aim: To assess the frequency of secondary transmissions of primary pneumonic plague relative to the onset of fever. Methods: A simple backcalculation method was employed to estimate the frequency of secondary transmissions relative to…
