A new method of spore separation: preparation of antibiotic modified nanoparticles and its application in spore-vegetative cell mixed system

Food Science and Human Wellness
Bacterial spores commonly co-exist with vegetative cells, presenting challenges in spore separation and detection. The separation of spores is a crucial process for laboratory research and the detection of spore mechanisms.

Effect of Acacia nilotica Gum on the Physicochemical and Sensory Characteristics of Sterilised Flavoured Milk

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Acacia nilotica gum fortification improved the physicochemical and sensory characteristics of sterilised flavoured milk. A. nilotica gum significantly increased the dietary fibre content of sterilised flavoured milk (1.9 g per 100 g). ABSTRACT Flavoured milks are widely preferred by people of all age groups globally. There is also a significant rise in

Pulsed Light Technology in Food Safety and Preservation: Principles, Applications, and Future Directions

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Pulsed light technology uses short high‐intensity broad‐spectrum flashes (200–1100 nm) to inactivate microbes via DNA damage. It preserves food quality, extends shelf life, and works on liquids, meats, and produce, often combined with other hurdles for enhanced efficacy.

Bacterial Spore Antigens: a Review [PDF]

Journal of General Microbiology, 1962
SUMMARY: Agglutinogens and precipitinogens have been detected in the spores of many species of aerobic and anaerobic spore-formers and these antigens are distinct from those of the vegetative growth phases of the corresponding organisms. Spore antigens are heat resistant and antibody response is elicited by the injection of autoclaved spores into ...

Seasonal drivers of plant–soil–microbial community structure and functions in Western Himalayan grasslands, Pakistan

Grassland Research, EarlyView.
Plant species richness was greater in summer in both alpine and subalpine grassland ecosystems. Soil moisture demonstrates significant positive correlations with soil organic carbon and total nitrogen across seasonal periods. Microbial α‐diversity peaks during summer but maintains functional stability across seasons.

BacSafe: A Comprehensive Database for Integrated Assessment of Bacterial Biosafety

iMetaMed, EarlyView.
The substantial threats that bacterial contamination poses to healthcare and industrial production requires a comprehensive assessment of biosafety risks for each bacterial species. Here, we introduce BacSafe, a novel database that integrates diverse domains of biosafety knowledge and evaluates bacterial risk across both clinical and environmental ...
