Validation of the H2S method to detect bacteria of fecal origin by cultured and molecular methods

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 92(6), 1287–1295.

By: L. McMahan*, A. Devine*, A. Grunden n & M. Sobsey*

author keywords: H2S test; TRFLP; Microbial water quality
MeSH headings : Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism Analysis / methods; Bacteria / chemistry; Bacteria / genetics; Bacteria / isolation & purification; Bacteria / metabolism; Biochemistry / methods; Feces / microbiology; Hydrogen Sulfide / analysis; Hydrogen Sulfide / metabolism; Polymorphism, Restriction Fragment Length; Water Microbiology; Water Pollution / analysis
TL;DR: This research determined whether or not the H2S test did correctly identify sewage-contaminated waters by being the first to use culturing and molecular methods to identify the types and numbers of fecal indicator organisms, pathogens, and other microbes present in sewage samples with positive H1N1 test results.

Determination of aflatoxin risk components for in-shell Brazil nuts

FOOD ADDITIVES AND CONTAMINANTS PART A-CHEMISTRY ANALYSIS CONTROL EXPOSURE & RISK ASSESSMENT, 28(9), 1242–1260.

By: E. Vargas*, E. Santos*, T. Whitaker n & A. Slate n

author keywords: survey; exposure; risk assessment; mycotoxins; aflatoxins
MeSH headings : Aflatoxins / chemistry; Bertholletia / chemistry; Brazil; Food Analysis; Food Contamination / analysis; Food Handling; Nuts / chemistry
TL;DR: Rotten nuts were found to be a high-risk fraction for aflatoxin in in-shell Brazil nut lots, and the highest correlations were found between the a Flatoxins concentration inin in- shell Brazil nuts samples and the a flatoxin concentration in all defective fractions. (via Semantic Scholar)

Effect of Simulated Aminocyclopyrachlor Drift on Flue-Cured Tobacco

WEED TECHNOLOGY, 25(4), 609–615.

author keywords: Off-target movement; synthetic auxin
TL;DR: Flue-cured tobacco is sensitive to foliar and soil residues of off-target synthetic auxin drift, and herbicide rates and application timings caused significant visual tobacco injury, ranging from slight to severe with increasing herbicide drift rates. (via Semantic Scholar)

Pectobacterium carotovorum Elicits Plant Cell Death with DspE/F but the P. carotovorum DspE Does Not Suppress Callose or Induce Expression of Plant Genes Early in Plant-Microbe Interactions

MOLECULAR PLANT-MICROBE INTERACTIONS, 24(7), 773–786.

By: H. Kim, P. Thammarat, S. Lommel*, C. Hogan & A. Charkowski

MeSH headings : Amino Acid Sequence; Bacterial Proteins / metabolism; Bacterial Secretion Systems / genetics; Bacterial Secretion Systems / physiology; Cell Death; Gene Expression Profiling; Gene Expression Regulation; Gene Expression Regulation, Plant; Glucans / metabolism; Host-Pathogen Interactions; Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinases / metabolism; Mutation; Pectobacterium carotovorum / genetics; Pectobacterium carotovorum / metabolism; Pectobacterium carotovorum / pathogenicity; Phenotype; Plant Diseases / genetics; Plant Diseases / microbiology; Plant Immunity; Plant Leaves / microbiology; Pseudomonas syringae / genetics; Pseudomonas syringae / pathogenicity; Sequence Alignment; Tobacco / cytology; Tobacco / genetics; Tobacco / metabolism; Tobacco / microbiology; Virulence Factors
TL;DR: A model where Pectobacterium carotovorum uses the T3SS to induce plant cell death in order to promote leaf maceration rather than to suppress plant immunity is supported. (via Semantic Scholar)
