Research Publications (Food Safety)

This page tracks research articles published in national and international peer-reviewed journals. Recent articles are available ahead of print and searchable by Journal, Article Title, and Category. Research publications are tracked across six categories: Bacterial Pathogens, Chemical Contaminants, Natural Toxins, Parasites, Produce Safety, and Viruses. Articles produced by USDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) and FDA Grant Funding Agencies (requires login) are also tracked in Scopus.

      Abstract

      We describe a proteomic approach to identify transcription factors binding to a target promoter. The method's usefulness was tested by identifying proteins binding to the Vibrio cholerae rpoS promoter in response to cell density. Proteins identified in this screen included the nucleoid-associated protein Fis and the quorum sensing regulator HapR.

  11. Chloroform-free permeabilization for improved detection of β-galactosidase activity in Vibrio cholerae

    • Journal of Microbiological Methods

    • Publication date: Available online 21 March 2017


      Author(s): Charlotte Toulouse, Claudia C. Häse, Julia Steuber

      LacZ (β-galactosidase) is used to monitor the transcription of genes in reporter strains carrying the lacZ gene under the control of a promotor of interest. This protocol for LacZ activity determinations in Vibrio cholerae following detergent lysis results in 2.5-fold increase of LacZ activities compared to lysis with chloroform.

      We evaluated the utility of an immunochromatographic assay (NH IC TDH) in identifying thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH)-producing Vibrio parahaemolyticus colonies on selective agar plates. The sensitivity of the NH IC TDH assay was 100% (189 samples) and its specificity was 100% (41 samples) compared with the presence of tdh.
