  4. Site-Directed Mutagenesis of HgcA and HgcB Reveals Amino Acid Residues Important for Mercury Methylation [Environmental Microbiology]

    • Applied and Environmental Microbiology

    • Methylmercury is a potent neurotoxin that is produced by anaerobic microorganisms from inorganic mercury by a recently discovered pathway. A two-gene cluster, consisting of hgcA and hgcB, encodes two of the proteins essential for this activity. hgcA encodes a corrinoid protein with a strictly conserved cysteine proposed to be the ligand for cobalt in the corrinoid cofactor, whereas hgcB encodes a ferredoxin-like protein thought to be an electron donor to HgcA.

  12. Assessment of Different Cooking Techniques on Residual Quantification of Ciprofloxacin and Enrofloxacin Antibiotics in Chicken

    • Journal of Food Processing and Preservation

    • The present research project was intended to assess the antibiotics residues in poultry meat and to explore the impacts of different cooking methods on antibiotic residues in broiler meatThree dose levels (10, 20 and 40 mg/kg body weight) of antibiotics were administered to the broilers. The antibiotics were administered for 5 consecutive days at the age of 25 days. The birds were slaughtered after 4 days of administration of antibiotics.

  16. Changes in the Profile of Volatiles of Canned Coconut Milk during Storage

    • Journal of Food Science

    • The alteration of the profile of volatiles of canned coconut milk was monitored during storage at ambient temperatureCanned coconut milk was thermally processed (121 °C for 5 min), and then stored at ambient temperature (32 to 35 °C) for 6 mo. Volatile compounds were assessed monthly using direct solvent extraction (diethyl ether), followed by high-vacuum distillation and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis.

  17. Standing Gold Nanorod Arrays as Reproducible SERS Substrates for Measurement of Pesticides in Apple Juice and Vegetables

    • Journal of Food Science

    • There is an increasing interest in recent years in using novel nanomaterials as cost-effectivesensitive, and reproducible substrate for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) applications. In this study, a novel SERS substrate was developed by assembling gold nanorods into standing arrays on a gold-coated silicon slide. The standing nanorod arrays were closely packed on the gold film, generating strong electromagnetic field and uniformly distributed SERS “hot-spots” on the array surface.

  22. Covalent Immobilization of Recombinant Organophosphorus Hydrolase on Spores of Bacillus subtilis

    • Journal of Applied Microbiology

    • Aims
      Organophosphorus pesticides are widely used in agriculture. Accordingly decontamination of these pesticides and their residual in environment is an important aim of researchers. One of the best approaches is enzymatic detoxification of these compounds with organophosphorus hydrolase (OPH). The immobilization of OPH on environmentally friendly supports is of great importance for developing stabilized enzymes to degradation of organophosphorus compounds.
